Water Treatment Program
Safe drinking water is one of the biggest challenges facing the people of Haiti. Contaminated water used for drinking and cooking is a leading cause of illness among the Haitian people. Lifeline started a program to help address this problem by providing materials for treating water to make it safe for human consumption.

The process uses chlorine tablets and involves passing water through a simple filtration system that the Haitian people can perform themselves once they are trained to do so. The system uses ordinary 5 gallon buckets for both collecting and storing the water once it has been properly filtered. Lifeline hopes to be able to provide one of these filtration systems to each home in the small villages in and around Dumay.
