The Need for Clean Challenge in Haiti

The photos below were taken in the normal course of a day in Haiti.  Nothing is staged and no actors are involved.  This is just daily life...for 11 million people. Consider the impact on health and sanitation, on water and food supplies, on tourism and industry.   Clean Challenge is taking on the trash challenge in Haiti and working to make a real, lasting difference for the Haitian people.  But we can't do it alone. We need your help.

                 Did You Know?

Haiti and the Dominican Republic are two separate countries geographically located on the same island of Hispanola, in the Greater Antilles area of the Caribbean Sea.  Although the two countries are physically adjacent to one another, living conditions for Haitians are significantly limited compared to their Dominican Republic neighbors, as statistics indicate.
