"HELPS International gave me the most incredible experience of my life. The physicians, the cooks, the members of the stove teams, the translators, the Guatemalan people, and everyone involved in the organization reminded me that even within the darkest corners of this world, there is a solemn glimmer of the sun. That glimmer is hope." more...

In Haiti, there are estimates that three million people have been
affected after the powerful earthquake that crushed thousands of
structures and resulted in major water service disruptions.
National water deliveries are severely limited.
Families in Haiti desperately need water filter systems. It's a basic first step to
help quake victims get back on their feet and it can have long
lasting impact even after the current crisis has passed.
HELPS International is partnering with
United Way Guatemala in assisting the
affected people of Haiti with its Gravity
Water Filtration Systems.
The Gravity Water Filtration System
provides 10 gallons of safe drinking water in
24 hours. It is simple to use and the initial
setup time is about 15 minutes. It ensures
100% removal of parasites such as guinea worm and giardia, and
99.99% removal of pathogenic bacteria such as: cholera, Ecoli,
and shigella. The filtered water measures up to US standards
of purification. The water filters will help beyond the current
crisis, rather than a onetime fix like water bottles.
HELPS International needs your help as we respond to this
tremendous crisis! HELPS is partnering with US Development
Agencies and Guatemalan and US Military to transport and deliver
these Water Filters to Haiti.
Every dollar counts in this race to save lives in Haiti.
Please donate to help provide these much needed water filters.
