Despite Worsening Security Situation, International Action Moves Forward with Installations in Hospitals and Orphanage

Even though the security situation in Haiti has deteriorated over the past months, the IAWater team has moved forward with installations. In December, the team installed a chlorinator in Hopital Communaute Haitienne, two in Hopital Fermanthe (one in the water reservoir used for the surgical unit and one in the water reservoir used for drinking water), and five chlorinators in the Hopital Croix Vert Orphanage in Kenscoff. The team also spent a week evaluating community water project tanks in the Kenscoff area. These tanks, designed to collect rainwater, were constructed in a pilot project by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture has formally expressed the need for chlorinators for the rainwater basis.
