Community Trust
Because components are transparent and visible, the unit can be "seen" to be functioning. This assures the safety and trust of users of the unit. Moreover, the observable functionality allows the unit to be constructed by laypersons; troubleshooting is easy.
In the video, observe the dosing mechanism functioning. If anyone questions whether a correct dose of disinfectant is placed into the water, that person can simply observe.
Community leaders may periodically test the effluent using litmus tests to assure the device is consistently and safely treating water. The filtration tank, too, can easily be observed for cleanliness. The filter will periodically need to be changed and the tank may be cleaned on ocassion.
Teachers' professional development
About the project
We help to develop the skills needed to make a difference. At the root of the issue is the lack of resources available to prospective teachers, including basic equipment as well as trainers themselves. We aim to provide learning supplies and incentivize teacher training experts.
Starting point
Engaging with educational experts, we uncovered what the most fundamental tools are for trainee teachers. This included how much time was required for training.
Support from local communities
Finding out the main enduring barriers to education, as well as the most essential requirements to childhood development in Haiti, was at the core of our mission here.
End result
By listening, engaging, and understanding exactly what was needed to empower educators in Haiti, we were able to equip 48 teachers with the necessary skills to use in the classroom.
