After
the earthquake in Haiti,
FilterPure was immediately in
Haiti and distributing filters, we
had more than 700 filters there
within the first week of the
emergency.
We
were able to partner with some
great organizations on the ground
and getting the work done. It was
at this time that we met with Doc ,
Director of Wine to water, and the
group from Global Effects, and with
our own water vigilantes, Richard
Wukich and Manny Hernandez, we got
to work.
Since
that time we have sent in and
distributed more than 2,300
filters, built all of the machinery,
and installed it all into a newly
built factory in Jacmel, and
developed a relationship with more
organizations with the need for
filters in the future.
