When a disaster strikes with the scale of the earthquake in Haiti, finding survivors isn't necessarily the biggest challenge. The biggest challenge often comes with keeping them alive. And that's exactly what our missionaries, doctors, and partnering teams from Samaritan's Purse and HCJB Global are working around the clock to do.

With daily flights of relief supplies coming in through Samaritan's Purse and more on the way with ISOH/IMPACT, many of the basic needs are being covered. But water is one precious resource that remains all too scarce. The importance of clean, safe drinking water can't be exaggerated in the days following the total devastation brought on by the 7.0 earthquake.

Today, members of Samaritan's Purse and our missionaries worked tirelessly to install a water filtration system that will turn the irrigation pond water into a life-giving source for the hospital patients and all living at our headquarters in Fermathe, Haiti. The water should be enough to last at least a week.

Normally used for irrigation, this pond water will be filtered to serve the BHM hospital.
