Clean Water
Potable water wells bringing safe drinking water to families who have none.
In the border region we serve, basic services that affect community health — including sanitation and potable water — are unavailable to large portions of the population. For many families, drinking water comes straight from the local river, the same water into which human waste is improperly discharged. The result is the spread of bacterial, viral, protozoal, and parasitic disease, including the cholera that has infected over 750,000 people in Haiti since 2010.
Clean sanitation and clean water go hand in hand. Having brought latrines to the communities of Tilori, Lamielle, and Lagua, the Cheerful Heart Mission is now working to provide safe drinking water.
Current project
Potable Water Wells · Tilori, Haiti · 2026
In 2026, the Cheerful Heart Mission is undertaking a potable water wells project in Tilori, Haiti, to provide families with a source of safe drinking water. Access to clean water reduces the spread of waterborne disease and protects the most vulnerable in the community: the young, the elderly, and the sick.
This work continues the Mission's long-standing focus on public health in the border region. Prevent disease at its source, and entire communities grow healthier.
