Board Of Directors

Clean Water for Haiti is a registered foundation in Haiti that works in partnership with Clean Water for Haiti Canada and Clean Water for Haiti US. We have a dedicated group of men and women from three countries that serve as board members. They work together as a Joint Committee to help provide oversight, accountability, and guidance as we work to accomplish the goals and mandates of the organization.

Nothing that is accomplished in Haiti would be possible without the people that choose to serve in this role. We are always on the look out for people that might make a great addition to our team. If you love what we do as an organization and have been looking for a way to get more involved our next addition could be you!
