HELPS International was founded in the tradition of service to others. For the past 25 years, HELPS has been working in Guatemala and Mexico to implement its programs for poverty reduction. Due to the severity of the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti, and because we have the ONIL Water Purifier System, HELPS and its Partners have joined together to aid the victims of Haiti by making these filters available to them. People in Haiti are in desperate need of drinking water, but most services have been disrupted. They need water, but it must be clean, potable water and the ONIL Water Filters can provide that need. The ONIL Water Filter is not only a short term solution, but is a long lasting solution with an impact that will last long after the current crisis is over.
The ONIL Water Purifier 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 and 99.99% removal of pathogenic bacteria such as: cholera, Ecoli and shigella. The filtered water measures up to US standards of purification.
HELPS International needs your help as we respond to this tremendous crisis! HELPS has coordinated with DHL and the Guatemalan Military to transport the filters to Haiti. To insure that these Water Filters are delivered to the people that need them the most, HELPS is partnering with CHF International, a 58 year old US humanitarian relief and development agency that works in Haiti. CHF International is responding to the earthquake immediately and then will focus on the needs of the people as they transition from basic survival to recovery.
We are in a race against time and disease. If you can help, please do so. Each filter costs $35 and should produce clean water for 20 people each day.
Thank you and may God be with these people.
Stephen W. Miller President & CEO
