Haitian Earthquake
Dear Friends of Pure Water for the World,
A major earthquake struck southern Haiti late Tuesday afternoon, destroying thousands of buildings and much of the already fragile infrastructure in this hemisphere’s poorest nation. There is no doubt that there will be significant loss of life as a result.
While I hoped to write this letter once I could confirm to you that all of our staff members, partners and facilities are safe and sound, I have only been able to contact some of our staff from Pure Water for the World in Haiti since the earthquake struck. I remain hopeful that everyone is safe, despite the enormity of the disaster.
I will continue to monitor the situation closely and attempt to reach our Haiti workers to gather information on the conditions on the ground. As I discover details, I will report them to you. In the meantime, we are vigorously preparing to help the residents of Haiti in any way that we can, regardless of the condition of our facilities. The need for clean water will be even more essential now than ever. Your continued support is needed and appreciated.
The best way you can help today is to provide a donation through our Web site. All funds collected will be used to provide clean water in Haiti .

We will provide more information about the health of our staff and the condition of our facilities as we learn more. Thank you for your concerns and for your generous support in this critical time of need.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Meub
Executive Director
Pure Water for the World
