The Grand' Anse Health & Development Association (GAHDA) was chosen to receive the water purification system. The organization helps needy families, especially women, in Haiti.

"During the earthquake, a lot of the women, their jobs, got harder," said Danielle Magliore, GAHDA representative. "They have to get the water to cook but if say, for example, they have the water closer to them, they can do their jobs just a little easier."
