After Hurricane Matthew struck Haiti, cholera cases surged. Most community water sources became polluted which caused people to seek out other sources that were unclean. UNICEF and partners work with Community Water Agents and the Haitian government to test and treat water sources. To stop cholera, UNICEF teams with Community Water and Hygiene Specialists to spread awareness around proper hand washing, against open defecation, and how to properly use water purification tablets.
UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization, by providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. 
UNICEF works toward the day when no children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.
