Purified Water

Cisterns, purification systems, and hygiene education because every child deserves safe water to thrive.

Latest news

Clean water is not a luxury - it is the foundation of health, school attendance, and learning. Tek4Kids has installed five purified water systems in schools in Jeremie, serving thousands of students and families.

Filtration systems

Multi-stage filtration units installed in school buildings, provide safe drinking water for students and teachers year-round.

Rainwater catchment

Cistern systems that capture and purify rainwater, reducing dependence on contaminated surface sources during dry season.

Hygiene education

Classroom programs teaching handwashing, sanitation, and waterborne disease prevention to students and community members.

The water crisis in Haiti

Haiti faces one of the most severe water access crises in the Western Hemisphere. Less than 50% of the rural population has reliable access to clean water. Waterborne illness remains a leading cause of school absenteeism and child mortality.

In the schools we serve, the installation of purified water systems has been correlated with a measurable drop in absenteeism and a reported improvement in teacher and student wellbeing.
