Balan, Haiti
Completed: 2011

This pump repair project and new pump was appreciated. Here were comments sent to The Water Team:

“Our community in this Godine area of Balan has about 350 people. Before this new pump was installed we were forced to take water from a spring in Charles Godine some 6 miles up in the mountain. It was a long distance and caused us much sickness and weariness.

Having a new pump in our village is making a big change for us and one that we very much appreciate. It is with that in mind that we say thank you to our host for providing us this handpump.” – Jean Claudius

“We are very pleased to offer to you our gratitude for this new well. It has saved us much time and made our lives easier now that we do not have to travel to the river for our water, a distance of about 4 miles.The new pump water is so much cleaner and tastes very fine.” – Robert Joseph, Village member.

“It is with great excitement that I report a combined and heartfelt thank you from our community, school and church. We are very isolated and have struggled with safe drinking water the entire history of our village. This well has had a broken pump for a long time and the rate of sickness has been increasing as we gather water from the creek at the bottom of the mountain or the swamp in the rainy season. Both sources are a long walk for all of us, approximately 5 km one way in the dry season.

Today we celebrate the efforts of your labour, a new handpump on our well in the center of our little community” – Village Representative

“Many thanks for coming to our rescue when our handpump was broken beyond repair. This new pump type is easier to use and we are very grateful for it. It has made our lives easier, as now we have plentiful water close at hand. It’s also decreased our sickness as we no longer have to draw from the dirty dug well a ways away.” – Village representative of Nemour Community
