Celebrating Clean Water with Operation Unisson in Haiti!

The community members of Pincroix with their water filters!
In January of 2018, For One Another partnered with Operation Unisson to distribute 20 Sawyer PointOne water filters to the remote rural community of Pincroix in the Central plateau of Haiti.
Celebration of water filter installation!
The community of Pincroix has no power, running water, or access to healthcare. In the words of Paola Chanes-Mora, Ph.D., MPH, CHES, the founder and president of Operation Unisson, “The community was soooo grateful to receive their filters and clean water!”
A community member drinking the first round of filtered water
For One Another funds many small projects around the world, often in individual communities, knowing that even 20 filters can make a huge difference in the lives of people who need access to clean water.
A side by side comparison of clean and pre-filtered water.
Interested in supporting our future projects, including the distribution of even more water filters in Haiti? Donate to fund our work!

Today I get to write about a very special person. Her name is Paola Chanes-Mora
I first met Paola in Haiti for relief efforts in 2010. We were there 5 months after the earthquake that occurred on January 12th 2010. The earthquake took approximately 160,000 people’s lives and effected over 3 million people in the areas region. We had partnered together with Iniciatives De Paz (amazing organization in Puerto Rico) to volunteer in medical clinics in the most needed areas in Haiti. This was some of the most intense work that I had ever been involved in.
We woke up early out of our army style cots and mosquito nets, worked long days in the hottest conditions, ate meals out of cans (cold) and were told not to complain as there were people outside of our gates who were starving. We saw people suffering greatly as a result of the devastation from the earthquake. As tough as the conditions were I was grateful for the opportunity to serve. There were so many people that desperately needed medical attention and our group of doctors and nurses did the best that they could to provide hundreds of people a day with care.
I had a deep respect for all of the people that were there volunteering and truly helping the core needs of the people. Paola was one of those who was really a light during this crisis in Haiti. She had a way to bring happiness into all of the patients that she worked with. She never complained and always kept a smile on her face. To this day Paola goes back to Haiti and serves in medical clinics and orphanages in between her schooling to become a doctor. Haiti is a part of her heart and home.
It has been 4 years since we worked together in Haiti but we have stayed in contact and have talked about the opportunities to bring clean water to the orphanages in Haiti that Paola is working in. This is in the works and I hope to be back in Haiti soon working with Paola and the rest of the team.
But in the meantime Paola has decided to partner with For One Another and journey with me to Uganda and Kenya this year. She has spent numerous times on humanitarian aid trips and I feel like she will be a huge asset to us for the relief efforts in Uganda this year as well as our continued work in Kenya. She also spent two months in Uganda on a research project in 2013 and knows the culture and loves the country as well. We really look forward to welcoming her into the work that FOA is all about. She is in Haiti right now and she will be flying directly to meet up with me for our trip to Uganda. This girl just doesn’t stop. Ha!
I’m looking forward to a great upcoming trip to Africa and we thank you all for the support so that we can continue on in this beautiful work. – Carrie Beth
