Water project
Can you imagine some people are still struggling for water while it should be available at their service?!
While working toward our project konbit peyizan, in our pilot region of Côtes-de-Fer, the inhabitants raised an issue that they experienced in the area that would not only prevent fruitful agriculture but was also missing in their day-to-day lives and that was water.
Consequently, we decided to launch this subproject in order to make water available in the area.

The problem
Haiti faces many natural disasters, like cyclones, droughts, and flooding among others. Some of these disasters are a consequence of climate change and variability due to deforestation. As a result, water has become scarce not only for agriculture but most importantly day to day usage, especially in the rural areas of the country. ECLAT Haiti Inc. decided to get involved in this crisis and, in partnership with local engineers, build a water pump in Mombin, Cotes-de-fer.
Mission |
Build a water pump and make water easily accessible in Côtes-de-Fer. |
The water crisis is real
|
Water is the foundation to any development. Thousands of people are suffering from a lack of access to clean, safe water. Currently the residents of Mombin, children and adults alike, must walk more than 5 miles in order to get water for personal usage. The water pump is a direct response to the current struggle of the inhabitants.
