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.
