HydrAid filters in Haiti

The recent earthquake in Haiti has caused untold suffering for hundreds of thousand of people. On March 13, 2010 the United States Navy and the Project Handclasp Program with the support of the United States Army delivered 34 pallets of HydrAid BioSand Water filters to Haiti. The effort was funded by the Safe Water Team, Inc. and Thirsting to Serve (Rotary District 6290). Jim Bodenner, representing Thirsting to Serve and the Safe Water Team and Kenyatta Brame representing the manufacturer of the filter, Cascade Engineering were on hand in Haiti to support the effort.

The 300 filters that arrived in Haiti will be implemented in the coming weeks by Pure Water for the World and the filters will provide life saving water to countless families.
