Sawyer PointONE Water Filter

The Haiti cholera epidemic has rocked the
Western Hemisphere's poorest nation with another emergency
nine-and-a-half months after Hait suffered a catastrophic
earthquake that killed
more than a three hundren thousand people and left millions
homeless.
."A nationwide outbreak with tens
of thousands of cases is a real possibility,"
the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said in a statement.
|
UCT is urgently appealing for
financial help to get 400 more Sawyer PointOne filters imported
into the St. Marc area.
We have an excellent network of pastors and
teachers within the area to assist with distribution, seen
here at the Maranatha Ministries filter distribution.
|
|
Following the earthquake
United Caribbean Trust distributed over 250 Sawyer PointOne
filters.
Each filter is capable of generating up to
500 gallons of potable water a day, cleaner than US bottled
water anywhere in the world! |

Sawyer specifically dedicated
ourselves to addressing the two biggest causes of deaths in
the world, mosquito bites and bad water.
Sawyer Products is introducing a new water
filtration technology adapted from kidney dialysis filters.

Not only do they offer the highest
level of filtration available but are low cost, easy to use
and will absolutely change the way people treat water in developing
countries.

Ministries International, Pastor Pierre Banes Laroure the
Kids' EE Haiti
National Director and Jenny Tryhane, founder of United
Caribbean Trust in Jacmel during a water filter distribution. |

Using
technology taken from kidney dialysis, Sawyer® water filters
use Hollow Fiber Membranes. Our filters are comprised of tiny
"U" shaped micro tubes that allow water to enter into their
core through tiny micro pores.
Seen here Pastor
Paul demonstrating the use of the filter and the connection
technique. |
The pointONE Filter's™ pores
are so small (0.1 micron absolute) that no bacteria, protozoa,
or cysts like E.Coli, Cholera and Typhoid can get through.
Each filter is certified for ABSOLUTE microns. Simply put,
it is impossible for bacteria to pass through the 0.1 micron
filter and impossible for bacteria and viruses to pass through
the 0.02 micron purifier.

10 main established distribution
depots have been identified, these represent ministries or
churches from different departments of Haiti each capable
of feeding 150 children per day.
All of these churches have undergone Kids'
EE or Adult EE training. Some assistance will be required
to increase their capacity to handle the additional requirements
of the internally displaced peoples. |
| Kids' EE committees were established
this summer in over 11
Kids' EE Summer Camps, as Jenny Tryhane and Pastor Banes
trained 500 key persons, from 300 different ministries, churches
and orphanages including pastors, Sunday school teachers, principles
of schools and school teachers in Kids' EE. |
|
 |
These key persons
will now take responsibility to administer this program through
out their local community.
What a pleasure to be able to
bless these committee's with Sawyer PointONE water filters.

team at YWAM, Goniave.

This water filter system added
to the possibility of food containers, sponsored through
the Special Treasures child sponsorship program will enable us to see our dream
become a reality as we bring Spiritual food and Living water
to tens of thousands of suffering children around Haiti.
|
| Partnering with GAIN
we are privileged to be one of their arms of distribution
within the Port au Prince area and eventually throughout Haiti
throughout our Kids' EE ministry network.
