Though many of us choose to buy bottled water, or have filtration devices on our taps, we are, for the most part, perfectly able to drink the water that we have coming to our homes.

In Cité Soleil, a shanty town built on and surrounded by a garbage dump, clean water is akin to gold. There is no running water and residents are forced to walk miles for a bucket of water that must be boiled before consumption, or disease, even death is risked. Birth defects are higher in Cité Soleil than any other area of Haiti.

However, there stands and amazing Water Project Site in the midst of this that could change the lives of 30 to 50 thousand people. Unfortunately, it stands unused. The Catholic Charity that built this potential life saver is no longer running due to the death of its founding priest nearly 2 years ago.

HTFH has promised the people of Cité Soleil that, when it has the money- a steady $10,000 US per month- to restart and maintain the Water Project, no child will again cry from extreme thirst, or worse yet, from the pain of dysentery caused by dirty water.
