Sanitation & Clean Water

Soaring has helped install wells & water filtration for years

SUH has entered into various partnerships over the years for installing clean water wells & water filtration systems--like Living Water Haiti, Pure Water for the World/Rotary International & several churches. Most recently, Pure Water had already been conducting a project to install bio-sand water filters in Northern Haiti (in the same Pistere Village where SUH’s Clinics are located), and then eventually decided to relocate their headquarters from Port au Prince in southwest Haiti—again, a necessary move due to the violence in and around the capital—to the North nearer to Soaring’s operations. We partnered with them in their transition in order to assist with meeting space, lodging, etc., and then launched collaborative community projects at the intersection of healthcare and clean water/sanitation.

In 2022, our two organizations conducted a series of events as part of a De-Worming Campaign in multiple villages in the Limonade region outside of Cap Haitien. Pure Water provided the awareness and prevention training, and Soaring treated the children (and adults) who already presented with the condition. Prior to working with Pure Water, Soaring had worked with Living Water Haiti to drill clean water wells around our village, at the local school, on our campus, and in other nearby towns. Faith-based entities like churches have been instrumental in financing clean water initiatives, along with Rotary Clubs and Rotary International.
