Sanitation In Haiti

Sanitation

Inadequate sanitation facilities contribute to the spread of disease in Haiti. Only 34% of Haitians use satisfactory sanitation facilities. The building of latrines, which significantly improves sanitation, helps fight the spread of disease. International Child Care partners with communities, specifically in northern Haiti, to construct latrines for individual families. The local community is responsible to provide materials such as sand, gravel, and blocks, while ICC provides the blue prints and supplies such as cement, tin for the roof, and PVC pipe. International Child Care pays local laborers to construct the latrines under the supervision of an ICC employee.

Los servicios sanitarios inadecuados también contribuyen a la propagación de la enfermedad en Haití. Solamente 34% de los haitianos usan las facilidades sanitarias adecuadas. La construcción de excusados exteriores, que mejoran las condiciones de la salubridad muchas veces, ayuda en la lucha contra la propagación de la enfermedad. Internacional Child Care colabora con las comunidades, específicamente en Haití del norte, para construir los excusados exteriores por familias individuales. La comunidad local es responsable por la proporción de las materiales como la arena, piedra y bloques, y ICC proporciona los planes y el caño de PVC. Internacional Child Care paga los trabajadores locales para construir los excusados exteriores debajo de la supervisión de un empleado de ICC.
