In 2005, a plan was formulated
to provide fresh water to the
poor people of Cité Soleil.

The St. Nicholas Knights
of Columbus Council
#12520 of New Market,
Minnesota purchased a
semi-tractor and trailer
equipped with two stainless
steel tanks capable of
holding 3500 gallons of water.

The number one cause for
illnesses is the lack of clean
water and our water deliver program brings life-saving
water daily to those in need.
Fresh water is obtained from
deep wells and trucked
to the areas of need.

The water truck operates six
days a week making four deliveries too many neighborhoods in Cite Soleil and reaching numerous impoverished families where the local people carry the water
home in 5 gallon buckets.

Water is also trucked to a water
storage facility which was
created in a previous project.

With your help, we can affect thousands of lives, for they can not afford to purchase the water on their own, without the water we supply to these impoverished people they can not survive.

As of March 2008,
the truck has delivered 14,000
gallons of fresh water daily.


We purchased the clean water  for the citizens of the slums, who live in shacks and sleep on the ground.

Haiti remains to be the poorest country in the Northern Hemisphere, with many people living in extreme poverty. The social and environmental problems are the greatest challenges the people of Haiti are facing today.


Have you ever begged for water?

What if you needed to walk over
20 minutes, with a 40lbs. five
gallon bucket on your head, 2-3
times a day for your family and
you were 8 years old?

In the poor shanty town of Cite Soleil, Haiti, women, children and men beg to have water truck stop near their shack so they can get clean water for their families.

Dirty water is one of the greatest causes of malnutrition. Bacteria and parasites in dirty water can cause severe diarrhea which flushes needed nutrients from the bodies of children causing malnutrition and even death?

Clean water can truly be the difference between life and death for many children in Cite Soleil.

It is only with your help, that  free chlorinated water can be delivered to one of the poorest slums in the western hemisphere.

This red truck provides a life
line to many who live in
extreme poverty by
making six water runs
a day delivering clean
chlorinated water.

Bucket by bucket people bring
this water back to their homes.

Each load brings 3500 gallons of water, enough for 700 families. Clean water can truly be the difference between life and death for many children in Cite Soleil.



Help support the water truck in Cité Soleil that delivers 4 loads
of 3500 gallons of clean, safe, drinking water six days a week
to the poor, the vulnerable
and the disadvantaged.

In 2009 the lack of funding
has resulted in only using
one of the two truck to
provide fresh drinking water.

Your donation keeps this
truck running and water
flowing to those in need.


Can you help the water truck that delivers 364,000 gallons of chlorinated water every month?

With a monthly budget of $2,000, we deliver 73,000 five gallon buckets to the poorest of poor, while at the same time employing four Haitians to  drive the truck and provide for their families.


Can you imagine a
day without water?

Have you ever had parched lips?

What if your children had bacteria and parasites living in their stomachs causing severe diarrhea and malnutrition from drinking water out of the sewer?

This is the daily reality for many in Cite Soleil, Haiti.



 Over 50% of the people in Haiti are unable to read or write.
With over 50% of the people in Haiti unable to read or write, children are Haiti’s greatest hope for a better future.

Only about half of grade school age children attend school.


 Terra Promise in Cite Soleil enrolls over 425 children.


We help to raise funds to pay teachers salaries so that school fees can be low enough to allow even the poorest families to send their children to school.


We have also constructed classrooms, built school benches and given assistance for school uniforms, school and medical supplies, food and clean water.





Over crowed school rooms are the norm at Terra Promise Primary School in Cite Soleil. 

Even with the heat and humidity
of a small classroom, these children want to come and learn.





Remember, you are not only sponsoring a teacher and their family, but are providing hope for a better future for the 25-30 children they teach everyday.



Thank you for buying a
little piece of hope!
