Sanitation
We take sanitation at heart
01
Hygiene:
Hygiene remains a critical issue in Haiti, where limited access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education contributes to the spread of diseases. Many communities, especially in rural and underserved areas, face challenges in maintaining basic hygiene practices. Improving hygiene through public education, clean water access, and sanitation infrastructure is essential for protecting public health and preventing outbreaks.
Haiti faces significant sanitation challenges, particularly in rural and impoverished urban areas. Many communities lack access to proper toilets, waste disposal systems, and clean water, leading to open defecation and unsafe hygiene practices. This contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases like cholera, especially after natural disasters.
02
Waste:
Waste management in Haiti is a serious challenge, with inadequate systems leading to widespread dumping, clogged waterways, and health hazards. Urban areas, in particular, struggle with overflowing garbage due to limited collection services and lack of infrastructure. Improving waste management through organized collection, recycling programs, and community education is vital for protecting the environment and public health.
Poor sanitation directly affects public health in Haiti. Contaminated water and improper waste management result in widespread illnesses, especially among children. Cholera outbreaks, diarrhea, and skin infections are common. These health issues strain the limited healthcare resources and contribute to high child mortality rates.
03
Water:
Access to clean and safe water remains a critical issue in Haiti. Many communities rely on rivers, wells, or public fountains that are often contaminated due to inadequate infrastructure and poor waste management. This lack of clean water increases the risk of diseases like cholera and diarrhea, especially in children and vulnerable populations.

04
Toilets:
Toilet access is limited across Haiti, particularly in rural areas and overcrowded urban zones. Many families use shared pit latrines or practice open defecation, which contaminates the environment and water sources. Promoting the construction of hygienic and affordable toilets is essential to improving public health and protecting communities.
Raising health awareness empowers people to make informed decisions about their well-being. ValentoFamily can organize regular health education sessions focused on topics like hygiene, disease prevention, maternal health, and first aid. These sessions can be delivered in schools, churches, and community centers using simple, culturally appropriate materials. When people understand how to care for themselves and their families, the entire community becomes stronger and more resilient.
