News from Haiti: August 2006
Chlorinators Installed in Cite Soleil
IA CWC team finished the last of three chlorinator installations in the Tokyo neighborhood in the poor Delmas section of Port-au-Prince on August 25. These three systems will provide clean drinking water to the 20,000 residents of the Tokyo neighborhood of Cite de Soleil. Each installation cost $175 (more than usual), because the water-holding tanks are difficult to reach.
Brooklyn and Tokyo are sections of the notorious Cite Soleil slum in Port-au-Prince. One international observer recently wrote, "This jumble of rickety shacks and foul-smelling open drains ... is one of the world's biggest shantytowns, home to 400,000 people and built on swampland near the sea."
