The Haitian Government have asked the international community of two billion U.S. dollars to fight the cholera outbreak that is still raging in the country. The cholera came to Haiti by UN peacekeepers from Nepal in 2010, and 7,500 people have died of cholera. That’s more than those who died in the unrest that led to UN troops came to Haiti.
334 000 people were affected by cholera in Haiti last year, more than the rest of the world combined.
Haiti has a ten year plan to significantly improve sanitation and water issues, and thus raising the standard of living for the entire population.
Star of Hope has long been working with these issues. We have built various types of water systems in the projects in which we are working to ensure safe drinking water for the villagers and schoolchildren.
However, we need to be dig more wells and build other aquatic systems to ensure clean water for more people and to reduce the problems of disease and death.
