Locally founded charity works for clean water in Haiti

A charity founded by a Branson area community member is working to provide clean water for the elderly and disabled people of Haiti.

Hope for a Village, a non profit charity organization based out of Hollister, began a potable water program for residents of Cotes-de-Fer, Haiti three years ago. There are currently 90 elderly people on the program.

The organization has delivered 14,040 jugs of water since the inception of the program, which amounts to 70,200 gallons of clean drinking water to individuals who otherwise wouldn’t have access to clean water or are not able to physically leave their homes to get access.
