Enduring Struggles
Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere Haiti deals with water scarcity on a daily basis 45 percent of the population has no access to an improved
water source 70 percent has no direct access to potable water Public systems are rarely available year round Water-borne illnesses cause of over half of all Haiti
deaths each year The 7.0 magnitude earthquake in 2010 destroyed fresh-water
resources

United Methodist Church
United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) provides Christian outreach, humanitarian relief and disaster response to 80+ countries
UMCOR supports distribution of water filtration units throughout Haiti

UMCOR Haiti Team
The team wants to focus on specific communitiesGrow relationships with those communitiesThe team lacks a means to maximize distribution of
filters

How the Filtration Units Work

Analysis 1
Determine most effective means to distribute filters
Identify areas where: Water-born illnesses are highest GDP is least Stream(s) are nearby Population is dense Away from previously distributed filters

Analysis 2
Determine most effective locations to drill wells
Identify areas where: Water-born illnesses are highest GDP is least Stream(s) are not nearby Population is dense Water table is not too low (to enable water to be
reached)

Analysis 3
Purchase 20 GPS tracking devices (e.g., TRAX)
Equip some bottles with devicesDistribute using a standard ratio
