Back to School in Haiti with Clean Water and School Supplies A quick update on the current situation in Haiti and the ongoing efforts of our local GT Haiti team. Approximately 400 out of the 2,500 Kenyan,?international police officers have been deployed to Haiti so far. Due to their limited numbers and lack of air transport, they have mainly stayed in the Port-au-Prince area, particularly around the airport and the marine port. Unfortunately, the recent massacre of 70 people north of the capital underscores that the gang violence continues to escalate as the international police force deploys at a slow pace. Currently, around 700,000 people are displaced, taking shelter in public and abandoned buildings—many of which are schools. This is especially concerning as the school year began at the start of October. Despite these challenging circumstances, our local?GT Water Project team in Haiti successfully delivered 36 cases of school supplies. This included backpacks, notebooks, paper, colored pencils, and pens, along with rice, beans, and canned meat, to every 2nd and 3rd-grade student at a fully functioning elementary school in Les Cayes. The crisis has impacted GT Water Haiti in many ways. As you can imagine, the shortage of food and fuel continues to drive up costs. This has affected our operations, with rising prices for services and goods. Shipping is also becoming prohibitively expensive—our last shipment cost nearly as much in shipping fees as the supplies themselves. Nevertheless, we remain hopeful that the continued deployment of the international police force and the upcoming elections will help restore safety and stability in Haiti. In the meantime,?our team is operating at full capacity, delivering essential services that make a tangible difference in the lives of children, women, and families.?Clean water, food, and school supplies help ensure children stay healthy and can continue their education.

GT Water Project Inc (gtwater.org)?is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization currently serving the people of Haiti and Honduras, with clean water filter systems provided and maintained at no charge by local paid staff.?In 2016, we launched our community concept in Haiti and expanded to Honduras in 2018. With a small, dynamic team, GT Water is having an outsized impact in our communities. Though we provide water filters to families, we are really offering them the opportunity for a better and sustainable future. Since 2016, GT Water has made clean water available to more than 950,000 people, supported Haiti and Honduras by employing 8 full-time workers, and contributed tens of thousands of dollars annually to the local economies. Our teams in Les Cayes and Tegucigalpa each install more than 100 water filters per week in the surrounding areas.
