Clean Water Flows in Haiti – PWRDF Update

Canadian Anglicans are supporting earthquake response by Action by Churches Together (ACT) International through The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF). PWRDF is eligible for CIDA matching funds collected between January 12 and February 12, 2010.

Food and water have started moving in Haiti as aid workers struggle to distribute goods and relief materials. The ACT Alliance has set up tented camps in a soccer stadium in the Santa Teresa area of Petionville, offering shelter for the homeless population. ACT has delivered a 10,000 litre water bladder to a makeshift tent city at a partially-destroyed school in the Pean district of Port-au-Prince. A portable water system for the homeless families has also been set up and operates alongside an existing rainwater harvesting system.
