Cholera Outbreak

If you haven’t heard there has been an outbreak of cholera in a region of Haiti. Already over 200 people have died with thousands reported sick. There is a real need for clean drinking water throughout the country. We were fortunate to bring in water purification to a community a couple of months ago. Right now many, many people in the area are coming to get the pure drinking water from this system. We at Project Nourish are so pleased that we have that in place and that so many people are benefiting from this clean water source! (see “Water Purifier” post; https://www.projectnourish.org/blog/?p=154 ).

There has been concern for these types of problems since the earthquake in January. In the many camps conditions are very difficult and food and water remain a very real issue along with hygiene and medical needs. There is no infrastructure to facilitate efficient dealing with the current situation, or others, should they arise. We need to reach out and help our struggling Haitian neighbors in this most difficult time. We thank all of you that contribute to the solution and ask for continued benevolence toward the people of Haiti, particularly in helping to provide clean water!
