HAiti
Population: 11.45 million (2021)
INFOGRAPHY
Today, more than half of the country's rural population still lacks access to drinkable water, while only about one-third of Haitians have access to basic sanitation.
Haitian people residing in the countryside receive water through piped water systems with standpipes or water points with hand pumps. However, many of the water systems there are not operational due to the lack of funds for operation and maintenance
CLIMATE
Haiti has a mild, tropical climate. Rainfall varies, from almost none in some areas to more than 50 inches in Port-au-Prince, the capital city that experienced some of the worst devastation from the earthquake. The country is also subject to periodic droughts and floods, which are made worse by deforestation. Hurricanes also threaten the country, generally from June to November.
Only the most wealthy in Haiti, like those in Port-au-Prince, have immediate access to clean water, while about 40-50% of other Haitians have to walk several miles with multiple storage containers to find a water pump, in order to get water from a place that isn't necessarily clean
Haiti, like many developing nations around the world, is currently devastated by a lack of clean water and the systems that provide it. Most water sources are contaminated with human waste because of the absence of a sewage sanitation system.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with domestic and international organizations to improve Haiti’s water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions and infrastructures. CDC and partners committed significant aid to improve health, infrastructure, and WASH conditions. Water quality, low sanitation coverage, and inadequate access to drinking water highlight the need for continued work in Haiti.
There are also now solid means to achieve progress thanks to a close collaboration with the Government and to the efforts of the Direction nationale de l’eau potable et de l’assainissement (DINEPA)
