Hey there!
First off, I wanted to say thank you to you all for donating towards this project and for those who donated on Giving Tuesday! We were able to qualify for $2,468 worth of matching funds because of you which almost completes our goal for this project! This is really exciting for us because these funds will go towards paying our Haitian staff for the whole 2024 year as well as providing training and development for them.
Our most recent projects are surrounding the grant we were gifted by Grundfos pumps. We will be installing five new Water House projects in Haiti and our staff will be heading all of those up! The training needed to complete these projects includes learning about a new pump that will be installed. It is a submersible Grundfos pump that we have not used before so we are excited to learn together with our staff about how to use these pumps! That training will be happening this month so that by 2024 our staff are fully ready to do these Water House installs!
We also wanted to update you that we are investing time in each of our staff members to be universally trained. We currently use Venel and Junnot mostly for filter installations and Chelo for our Water House maintenance. We have begun the process of training Venel to be fully equipped to do Water Houses and plan to incorporate Junnot as well in 2024 with the added projects we have going on.
Thank you so much again for your support of this crucial element of our organization. We couldn't do our work without our Haitian staff and that means we also couldn't do our work without you!
Next report will be full of new project photos from Haiti so be sure to be on the lookout for that! Everyone here at Poured Out wishes you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
