Some of you will remember that in 2008 I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic with Edge Outreach to install water purification systems. The stories and pictures from that trip are here. I love the people at Edge. I know these people. They are pure in heart and have a simple mission. They get clean water to the people in the poorest parts of the world.

I knew Mark and Darrell and Curtis and all the gang would go into action after the earthquake in Haiti. Bottled water meets an immediate need, certainly. But the greater need is permanent water purification systems that can produce clean water for thousands of people on an ongoing basis.

The people in Haiti are going to need clean water systems that are easily sustainable and will provide for them while they rebuild their infrastructure.

Edge’s Water system is built with local materials purchased in country. It runs on salt and a car battery. It’s an amazing system.

From the Edge website:

In the face of this massive disaster in Haiti, EDGE is preparing three teams and supplies that will allow fresh water to be instantly available. This is immediate necessity in light of the devastation and the collapse of the Culligan water plant. The cost of these relief efforts is $79,000, and we need your prayers and financial support.

Read the recent article about Edge in Haiti in the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Perhaps you’re looking for a way to donate money to an organization that will not only be merciful and respond quickly, but will also be thinking about the long-term needs of the people in Haiti.

Help Edge reach $79,000 as quickly as possible.

Continuing News…

I’ll be writing some stories about the work that Edge is doing in Haiti and posting pictures here. If you want to keep informed on how your money is working to bring clean water to Haiti, you can check back here and at the Edge Outreach news page.
