The orphanage that we stayed at in Haiti needs help. There are currently 91 children living in the home. It will be 1 yr before their new home is completed. We have provided them with water filters so that they may receive clean, safe water to drink but we want to extend ourselves to do more.
We want to provide running water to the bathrooms. There are 55 girls ages 4-22. They share 1 bathroom that doesn't have running water. I can't even fathom what this is like at all of their ages. The smell is so strong in the bathroom and rolls into their rooms that I couldn't walk in for more than seconds before leaving as quickly as possible. They take buckets filled with water to flush the toilets and take showers.
The boys bathroom doesn't work at all. They use the outdoors as a facility.
Can you help me provide this for the kids? We need to purchase 2 (500gallon) tanks to put on the roofs and then run piping into the bathrooms. We will be hiring Haitian men to do the work with the supervision of Ray from Relief Team One. It will cost around $1500.00 Anything you can give to help this project would be wonderful. We would like to have it done before Dec. 15th. Thank you so much for your generosity. This will be an amazing gift for these children especially for the older girls.
