Ensure the sustainability of clean water in Haiti

We are happy to call you a friend and a partner, and are very thankful for your continued support. Working together, we have been able to help thousands of families in Haiti with clean water.

I am asking for your assistance once again, to enable us to do the following two, vital projects, both of which are in central Haiti, a place called the Artibonite Region.

1. To create three new, clean water sources for hundreds of families. These new water sources will become essential parts of each community, improving overall health, saving people hours each day when collecting water, and providing opportunities for a better livelihood. We need your help in raising $43,500 to make these three water sources a reality ($14,500 per new water source).

2. Helping 1,000 poor farming families to gain access to clean water, put more food on the table, and increase their income each month. These farmers have access to water sources and an irrigation system fed by rain water, but there has been drought for two straight years. They do not have clean water and they have lost their livelihoods. We have plans to improve their water sources and irrigation system so they can access underground water. Your help in finding $14,000 in support will make the first phase possible, bringing thousands of people clean water and empowering them to earn a good living each year!

The people in the communities we are working with in the Artibonite Region of Haiti are truly amazing. What really drew me to them is their strong desire to provide their children a better life, through hard work and dedication.

For both projects, the people in the communities that will be gaining access to clean water for drinking, cleaning, bathing and for farming are making plans to sustain their new water sources. They know that you and I can help, but it is on them to make it work. When future challenges occur, they have the motivation and the resiliency to address them. They just need our help in the beginning. These are the kind of people that International Action believes in and works with. 

With your help, we will enable families in the Artibonite Region of Haiti to provide their children a better life. On behalf of everyone at International Action, I thank you for your continued support.

Best,

Zach Brehmer,

P.S. Above is a picture of us with a farming family. With your help, they will have plenty of clean water to drink and to use for their crops, putting more food on the table and improving and securing their yearly income.
