Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe objective of this thesis was to present the necessary steps to help a town in Haiti develop an organization focused on improving their water quality. It goes through the technology needed to create the organization and explains the procedures for implementing a charitable project in a foreign country. A narrative of the student project in Milot, Haiti, where students from the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Engineers Without Borders Chapter implemented a water purification project, explains the course of action that was taken and gives an example of a successful project. A summary of Haiti and its history paints a picture of the environment and culture, where the project took place and gives some incite into the Haitian mindset to evaluate the potential success and failure of the implementation of a sustainable development project in Haiti.
