Fifty-three percent of the population in Haiti lacks access to a sustainable source of safe water, placing it last on the National Values for Water Poverty Index. Tragically, lack of access to safe drinking water is the second leading killer of children under the age of 5 (World Health Organization, 2004). Point-of-use water treatment systems have shown promising reductions of 30-50% in diarrheal disease in some countries (Centers for Disease Control, 2004). However, many rural areas of Haiti, like Les Cayes in southern Haiti, still do not have access to affordable systems.
