This system is inexpensive and easy to build all over the city. This can solve the cholera issue in Haiti and around the world. This contained sewage treatment system alone can spread very quickly, like a virus. Image if we are in Port Au Prince for five weeks building contained sewage treatment systems all over the city.

As if things could not get worse, the US recession has resulted in a scarcity of philanthropic funding, forcing many education and health programs to close their doors. I have read that only a portion of the island has access to sewage system, so fresh water is largely contaminated and is a primary source of disease in Haiti. And because of overuse and environmental degradation , Haitian soils are almost completely infertile. You are doing a great job!

What are you going to do to address it? Won't it be best to replace the sewer lines with new PVC, & add some kind of treatment plant? Brenda in NM I commend you for tackling such a huge sewage problem.
