Perhaps, for Brad Paisley it was the fact that Haitians have no clean water to drink. In fact, in the area in which we work, Thomazeau, Haiti, all but one of the water sources we tested were heavily contaminated with e. coli, salmonella and cholera bacteria.
We routinely see mothers filling their baby's bottle with the brown smelly water because that's all they have. For a nation an hour and a half from our border, it is intolerable that the people have no access to clean water. Would anyone disagree that clean water is a basic human right? It is unbelievable that the main cause of illness in this Caribbean country stems from dirty water.
But it doesn't have to be this way. We can change this blight in the Haitian community.
Brad and Kim have decided to do just that. They are supplying an entire area of Haiti with clean water filtration systems so that all 200,000 people in this area will have access to clean water.
The Paisleys are transforming Haiti.
Take the Paisley Challenge.
Make a difference.
