  • 2011. Work continues on setting up and equipping one of Cité Soleil’s four pumping stations. These four pumping stations are supplying not only Cité Soleil but other parts of Port-au-Prince as well.
  • Today, 37 of Cité Soleil’s 53 distribution points are working again. The people of this area can obtain approximately 15 litres of drinking water per person per day, at a very reasonable price. The authorities have now resumed responsibility for operating the water system.
