WATER PURIFICATION PROJECT-IN HAITI ​ ith two thirds of the earth’s surface covered by water W and the human body consisting of 75 percent of it, it is evidently clear that water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Water circulates through the land just as it does through the human body, transporting, dissolving, replenishing nutrients and organic matter, while carrying away waste material. Further in the body, it regulates the activities of fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood and glandular secretions. ​ Our drinking water today, far from being pure, contains some two hundred deadly commercial chemicals. Add to that bacteria, viruses, inorganic minerals etc. Imagine our poisonous water is in a third world country, where a bottle of water is selling for the cost of a meal. Do they really have a choice when drinking those contaminated water. Helps us build a filtered water reservoir that will help a whole community of hundreds of people.   SCHOOL UNDER THE TREE According to USAID in 2015 Haiti’s literacy rate  is 61% – 64% for males and 57% for females. According to the World Bank in 2013, 50 percent of the children in Haiti do not attend school. Approximately 30% of those children attending primary school will not make it to third grade, and 60% will abandon school before sixth grade. ​ Instead of asking people to travel to go school, the school will travel to go to them. We will keep it as simple as possible to meet them wherever they want to. We will create an appropriate educational setting where they can learn out of a traditional way of learning.  This project is a small  corporation  between the farmers and the organization where we supply a portion of the product needed to plant. www.adovilasfoundation.org Email Us:[email protected] Call Us: 407-7321360 Anderson Dovilas Foundation, INC. is 501c(3) Non-profit Organization
