International Action assisting with provision of clean water in Haiti

The following in italics is a post from hoodlumette at the lj community good_ideas:

Hello! Currently I work as an intern in a non-profit organization called International Action. International Action working with a Haitian group Dlo Pwòp (Clean Water) installs chlorine systems in neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince and rural villages in Haiti. You can look at our website http://haitiwater.org/ and at our YouTube page

This month we installed a new chlorinator, which provides clean water for the 100,000 inhabitants. After recent hurricanes our staff has also been working on the hurricane relief fixing the systems that had suffered. People living in areas where we installed chlorinators say that we made a made a huge difference: epidemics of fever, malaria, cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis stopped and the rate of sickness of children dropped dramatically. If you find this information important, please tell the readers of your blog and your friends about us.
