The Haiti Water Project

The Haiti Project, sponsored by the Central California District Nazarene Youth International, directly partners with the Haiti Water Project.

WHO is the Haiti Water Project?

The Haiti Water Project aims to provide clean, safe water for communities in Haiti. The goal is to create sustainable water resources that empower local churches to meet the needs around them. One well can provide fresh water for around 2,000 people. One well or clean water resource at 500 local churches in Haiti equals one million changed lives.

WHY does the Haiti Water Project exist:

Haiti is a country filled with beautiful people and great possibilities. Today it is also a place with many problems. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere and one of the most water-impoverished countries in the world. Nine out of ten people do not have running water, and more than half of Haiti’s eight million people do not have access to any safe drinking water.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

In Haiti it usually falls to the youngest family members to retrieve water each day for the family. Children as young as four and five are sent out to walk hours each day. Too often, children must spend the day walking for water instead of going to school. And the water they find may still bring illness. Drinking tainted water kills thousands each year, and children are especially vulnerable. In fact, one of every eight kids in Haiti won’t reach his or her fifth birthday. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Creating a well or other clean water resource offers health and shows much love. Imagine churches in Haiti becoming places where people can come for both the literal and spiritual water of life. Imagine a place known more for its hope than for its poverty.
