Lambi Fund proposes to establish a portable water system and supply access to electricity in Ravine Gwomon, located in the Artibonite Haiti. The overall long-term benefits of this project will be reflected by the improved quality of life in town. Currently 8,000 families in Artibonite, Haiti do not have access to clean water and electricity. The current lack of access to clean water and electricity makes most people gamble with their lives by drinking contaminated water or risking electrocution to siphon electricity from power lines located outside of town.

The project goal is to provide clean water and electricity access to 8,000 families. Clean water will decrease disease among the population and specifically allow young girls to attend school rather spend hours collecting water. The lack of clean water increases disease among the population especially for children and the elderly. Young girls spend hours collecting water, rather than attending school. The lack of electricity results in town’s people using oil lamps and/or charcoal for light and cooking. Both antiquated methods are harmful to the person’s health and eye-sight, as well as detrimental to the environment.

The key collaborator will be the Organization des Planteurs pour le Development de la Ville de Gros Morne (OPDERGM). OPDERGM's members are all located in the Artibonite region where the project will be established and executed. The organization has had former partnerships with the Lambi Fund. Lambi supported two projects, a micro-loan for planters and a reinforcement of funds for women. The organization has 370 members and will be the primary collaborator for this new project and be responsible for the maintenance of the water and electricity services available to the community. Within the organization, there will be committees elected to oversee the activities, the management of the system of water, and scheduled distribution of the water. In addition, OPDEGM will coordinate all trainings and service delivery in collaboration and solidarity with the Lambi Fund staff. This is a truly public private and community partnership to help the community.

Join us and bring water and energy for living to the community of Boyer in Gwomon!
