"The Chlorinator has aided tremendously in sanitation in our surgical rooms. We had a big problem with dirty water from our cistern but the chlorinator resolved the problem completely. Please make a second installation - on the cistern that supplies our cafeteria..."
Mr. Jean Angus
Director of Hospital Fernmathe
Nearly one-third of Haiti's people live in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. There are more than 500 water stations serving the 2.2 million residents in the Capital, Delmas, Petionville and Carrefour.
Each water station serves up to 10,000 people and our 110 chlorinators now installed serve 400,000 we estimate. We will add another 200,000 people drinking our water in 2009. Mainly they will be in the capital - at water stations in Cite Militaire, Bel Air, Villa Rosa and Cite L'Eternal.
There are eleven hospitals in Port-au-Prince which we are targeting, three more in Petionville, three in Delmas, and two in Carrefour. We have already put chlorinators in Hopital de la Communaute Haitienne and Hopital de Fermanthe. The doctors have become our greatest fans, praising the quick impact of our chlorine.
Finally, we have been asked by Haitian Baptists to protect their 350 schools - 17 in the capital area. And, the community at Cite Soleil - Haiti's worst slum - has pressed for our installations in their schools. As word spreads about our clean water, the pressure is building for us to grow.
