Water and Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. As a developing country, especially one in the Caribean, water is an issue for the natives every day. In the Caribbean, since water is so scarce and valuable, there are actual water black markets in which water is sold from underground corrupt and sometimes perverted groups of mostly men who use water as a way to gain social power. Now, things and Haiti have changed and it is worse. Fiji has donated an incredible amount of water to the efforts in Haiti. Other organizations are also putting some of the money they recieve towards water, obviously among other needs that are necessary. Be sure to keep the people of Haiti in your mind when you are taking a shower, washing dishes, etc. Because there are people in the world right now who do not have access to a single drop.
