Dire Water and Sanitation Conditions in Haiti

In Haiti, 85% of its urban residents and only 51% of the rural populations have access to improved water services, while access to improved sanitation is extremely low, with only 24% of these facilities available to urban residents and 10% in rural regions, according to the WHO/UNICEF 2012 Joint Monitoring Program report.  Support for sustainable water and sanitation is greatly needed.
