Sanitation, Supplies, Water Treatment/Purification/Filtration Supplies/Equipment * (ANY/ALL Types) available at International Relief Teams

IRT, in partnership with Haiti Vision, a Haiti-based nonprofit humanitarian organization, has recently purchased a solar-powered water purification system from World Waters and Solar Technologies, Inc, for deployment to Haiti as part of ongoing disaster relief and recovery efforts. The system provides clean energy from the rays of the sun and is operational within 30 minutes after arriving on site. The energy can be used to pump and purify water and will produce 15,000 gallons every 12 hours (enough to provide clean water to 7-10,000 people a day).
The need for additional water purification systems in Haiti is critical, as Haiti enters its rainy season. For those living in tent cities and elsewhere, contaminated water presents grave dangers for such water-born diseases as cholera and dysentery.
