According to the World Health Organization, 1.6 million deaths of children per year can be attributed to unsafe water, poor sanitation, and lack of hygiene. This summer, a group of high school students and adults will go to the Dominican Republic to build latrines and provide clean living education to a Haitian slum in a city named Barahona, Dominican Republic. Through a partnership with the community leaders, we will build latrines, educate the community on proper use and upkeep, as well as provide soap through a local organization who recycles soap donated by hotel chains across the United States.
