Safe Water Is Flowing in Cavaillon
Something extraordinary just happened in Cavaillon, Haiti, and because you have supported HANWASH, I wanted to share it with you.
Last week, community leaders and partners officially inaugurated Cavaillon’s rehabilitated drinking water system. Today, more than 7,000 people have access to water eight hours a day, seven days a week.
The system includes a hybrid solar-powered pump, two boreholes, and a kilometer of new pipeline. But the real story is not the equipment. It is a community water system designed to be locally managed, financially sustainable, and able to keep serving families for years to come.
That is what HANWASH has been working toward from the beginning.
HANWASH brings together local and international partners, fostering knowledge and skills transfer, and building the capacity of local communities and leaders to give good governance to WASH and the progressive realization of the human right to water and sanitation
