Help Haiti Now! - Haiti Cholera Epidemic


To Love a Child has three specific goals in response to the cholera epidemic in Haiti:


1.  To immediately send water purification tablets to the rural areas we serve which have not been the recipients of aid to date
2.  To ship a 40’ container with additional water purification supplies and personal hygiene supplies in November.  These supplies, along with education, will be most helpful in preventing the spread of bacterial diseases in the future.
3.  To drill wells that will provide clean drinking water further eliminating the chance of future outbreaks

Facts:
Cholera is a bacterial disease usually spread through water and food contaminated by human waste. Cholera causes severe diarrhea and dehydration and left untreated, cholera can be fatal in a matter of hours.

Monetary Donations Needed:

–To purchase bulk water purification tablets and chlorine tablets
–To ship a 40 ft. container to Haiti
–To pay for ground transportation costs from the port in Port au Prince to the Central Plateau Region

Other Donations Needed:

wash cloths
hand towels
soap
shampoo
razors
toothbrushes
toothpaste
diapers
feminine hygiene pads
wash basins
diapers
buckets
antibacterial lotion
55 gal. plastic barrels

Who Will Receive These Donations:
To Love a Child is pleased to partner with three local churches; St. John’s Episcopal Church in Troy, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Albany and St. George’s Episcopal Church in Clifton Park in this effort.  Each organization has a school it sponsors in Haiti which will benefit from the donations collected and in turn touch the lives of  the students’ parents, guardians and relatives;

LaHoye with 300 students and an estimated population of 3,000

St. Phillipe with 100 students and an estimated population of 1,000

Lascohobas with 425 students and an estimated population of 7,500
