Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
2014 Goals
This year we plan to:
Serve over 350,000 children and adults in Haiti
Save an estimated 500 additional lives with our Bucket of Life systems
Add new sales agents in target areas
Integrate local pharmacies and shops in our distribution network
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Deep Springs employs a 3-prong approach to the Water Crisis...
1 - Home Water Treatment
We treat water at the point of consumption to assure that it is safe to
drink. Even with a well or covered spring, water can become
contaminated during transport and/or storage in the home.
2 - Education
Water Technicians visit each home regularly to educate families about the dangers of unsafe water, the proper use of the Home Treatment Systems, and to monitor water quality.
3 - Enterprise Development
The goal of the Deep Springs approach is self-sustaining via
sales of affordable chlorine solution. Water Techs deliver free
systems to remote communities and then recover the cost via sales.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Deep Springs grew tenfold in 2010 and 2011 in response to the cholera epidemic and subsequent spike in demand for locally-produced chlorine to treat water by NGO partners. This reflects our flexibility and capability to scale-up quickly to meet public health needs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
GOAL: serve 4.5 million rural Haitians who lack clean drinking water
To Date: over 2,000,000 served
