impoverished people of the Caribbean country of Haiti, the poorest coun

in the Western Hemisphere.

The social and environmental problems are the greatest challenges

people of Haiti are facing today. In the midst of these problems, we

compelled to provide essential services to aid in day-to-day survival. T

services Reiser Relief provides include: fresh water, food centers, educatiand eldercare facilities. Many projects are in or near Cit Soleil; the sub

The number one cause for illness in Cit Soleil is the lack of clean wat

The desperately poor people cannot afford to purchase the water on th

own. Reiser Reliefs water delivery program obtains fresh water from d

wells then trucks it to many neighborhoods in Cit Soleil. The local peo

the devastating earthquake in January, 2010, the truck also began deliver

to tent cities, clinics and orphanages. Without the water that Reiser Resupplies, people cannot survive! The water truck operates six days a w

reaching untold families in need. We live among abundance. The Haiti

thousands of lives of these extremely impoverished people! They await y

generous response and pray for Gods abundant blessings upon you.

Your support is the Hand of Godassisting His children in their dire

Reiser Relief History

Below is a list of our major accomplishments made possible

beyond words.

equipped with two stainless steel tanks capable of holding 3,500

gallons of water. These were shipped to Haiti.

2006. Reiser Relief Inc. collaborated with Healing Haiti, a nonprofit organization that shares a strategic alliance with ReiserRelief. With combined generous donations, many updates to Reiser

Heights Primary School were built: a 4-room school addition, a

30,000-gallon cistern to collect clean water off the roof of the school,

a 4-stall sanitary block (concrete outhouse), and a kitchen to replace

the tin shack that was being used to prepare food for the children.

2007. Reiser Relief donations continued to support a 3,500 gallonwater truck delivering 364,000 gallons of clean water each month in

the slums of Cit Soleil. With the help of ECOsmarte Corporation,

a second 3,500 gallon water truck was added to bring clean water to

the slum of Jeremy Wharf outside of Port-au-Prince.

of Titanyen. The Maranatha House Orphanage is a Christian based

orphanage for 30 children.

Reiser Relief assisted in delivering two cargo shipping containersof 432,342 food packets. These food packets were assembled by

to our Haiti projects located at Lespinasse, Cit Soleil, Leogonne,

Jacmel, and Titanyen.
