According to the World Bank, only about 25% of the population has access to clean drinking water, and less than 50% have access to basic sanitation facilities. This lack of access to clean water has led to widespread water-borne illnesses and diseases such as cholera, which has been a significant problem in the country since a devastating earthquake in 2010.

There have been various efforts to improve access to clean water in Haiti, including government initiatives and non-profit organizations. Some examples include:

The construction of new water supply systems and wells

Rehabilitation of existing water systems

Installation of water treatment systems

Distribution of water purification tablets and filters

Education and awareness campaigns on water sanitation and hygiene

Provision of latrines and improved sanitation facilities

However, despite these efforts, the majority of the population still lacks access to clean water, and the situation is often exacerbated by a natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and droughts.
