On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake struck the nation of Haiti, taking the lives of more than 250,000 people while leaving over one million others homeless. Life has always been very hard in Haiti; the aftermath of the earthquake made an already dire situation even worse. The conditions in the nation’s largest city, Port au Prince, crumbled so badly that a massive migration to the rural areas and towns outside the city has been underway ever since. This has only made these already impoverished rural communities that much more in need of assistance in establishing the most basic infrastructure necessities. Our team will be going down to assist one of these communities in gaining access to the most essential resource of all; water.
Much of the plan to rebuild a sustainable and successful future for Haiti lies in developing the outlying rural areas. Access to clean water is the crucial first step to helping make a community stronger. It's the bare essential that will allow Haiti to progress as well as sustain those that have been so heavily affected by this disaster. Please join us as we work together with the Haitian people to initiate change within their communities and establish hope for a devastated people and nation.
