Our family lived and traveled in and straight from the West Indies from 1980 as a result of 1995. Having lived through one revolution, five coup dâetats, a pair of hurricanes, and a drought, we have first-hand experience of what life can be like among wars, water shortages, floods, and natural disasters. Life can change in an instant when circumstances beyond some of our control threaten our lifestyle and our very lifetime. One thing that never changes is an individualâs reliance on water for survival. Our bodies can survive for weeks without food but only days without water. Protected, potable water is something most of us take for granted. Sadly, the majority of earthâs citizens have no access to clean water. Haiti is one these countries. During the hurricane season of 2009, Haiti was hit by four hurricanes back-to-back. Common to tropical countries, the rainy season brings an abundance of water. This necessary innovative water brings both blessings and curses to Haiti. As water is collected in cisterns for all who posses cement homes, uncollected mineral water runs off deforested mountain slopes in torrents, causing flooding and mudslides. Lives are swept away along with the huts that housed them, and malaria soon follows. In 2009 tropical storms, and the flood surge in the relentless hurricanes produced such severe flooding, that many parts of the island were completely stop from roads or getting strips. Crops and food stores were washed separate. There was no fresh water no way to deliver the idea. An orphanage run as a result of an American missionary was forced to use the flood waters with regard to drinking and bathing. Because food-supplies had been exhausted, flour was mixed with the contaminated water to feed the missionary and the children in her care. I was horrified to look at received this news. With contamination from human waste and decomposing human being and animal corpses in the water, many lives have been put in danger. I wondered which devise might have recently been used at that orphanage to help safely filter the flood water. I made a sketch of what I felt is an ideal filtration pattern for a worse-caseâscenario this way and began to find manufacturers. In January 2011, I found what I was ready for. We are so looking forward to these filters that we now have become distributors. If the parts of flood-ravaged Haiti had these filters available before they were stop from supplies, they could have had safe drinking water cheaper than 30. 00 US bucks per filter! We, and our manufacturer, place even more value on people than on profit. Although i am a âfor-profitâ business, we believe that offering a tremendous value for an essential product will allow people and organizations to obtain safe water to as many people as possible. We hope to make our gain, and our living, through explosive sales along with the good will of our customers to send other buyers our way. Are you going to help us?
