Making Haiti Well Again Programme -one year on

Cavendish Engineers pledged in 2010 to raise $15,000 to build a well in HAITI.

One of Cavendish Engineers colleagues actually lives in the neighbouring country Dominican Republic, and therefore Cavendish have seen what help was crucially needed after the earthquake.

Cavendish Engineers delivered over 5 million litres of water to the 16,000 make shift camp since the disaster and wanted to continue their support by using their engineering experience to build a well.

The proposed two tank system (one tank as drinking water and the other for washing clothes,) will work off a city well pump shaft which could yield an pump 2,500 gals per minute.

We have already raised the majority of the $15,000 dollars needed to complete. Due to the generosity of other London firms such as Hurst Pierce and Malcom and Russell Trew we have been able to make a real difference.
