Aquassistance Organization

One year after the traumatic experience of the earthquake in Haiti, the recovery is difficult for the country as it is facing cholera, hurricanes, political unrest, migrations and logistic difficulties… Many Haitians live precariously and do not feel the benefit of international aids.

After having been sent to Vietnam and Haiti, Albert Rigaud has been assigned a new mission, at other latitudes, in Latvia, with Claude Renault.

The project’s aim is to improve and extend the water supply for the children from the village of Grasi, which is hosting orphans or children abandoned by their families.

The Aquassistance Board decided to send water treatment equipment in order to support the Pakistanis hit by the floods which have covered a big part of the country along the Indus since August.

An Aquassistance team of 3 departed on planes of the French Air force on 8 and 11 September to Islamabad.

The intervention is being organised by the French Foreign and European Affairs Ministry and the French Embassy in Islamabad.

François Colson, Jean-Louis Devallez and Charles-Damien Dupuy took with them 3 CDF 5000 water treatment units able to produce 150,000 drinking water litres per day.[1]
