The JSWF project provides safe
drinking water by:
- Generating liquid chlorine solution using an AquaChlor electrolytic generator on-site at
the Missions of Love
clinic in Jolivert, Haiti.

Providing families with the initial materials (at a subsidized cost) to enter the program, including:
- A tap and lid to covert the normal bucket water storage container into a safe storage container
- A sticker to place on the bucket showing users how to use the product
- A bottle with a label to store the chlorine solution in
|

Hiring local Community Health Technicians to:
- Generate the chlorine
- Train families entering the program
- Follow-up by conducting household visits to test for correct usage (presence of chlorine residual) and train families on hygiene
- Maintain detailed records on users and finances of the project
