Introduction A cholera epidemic began in Haiti over 8 years ago, prompting numerous, largely quantitative research studies.
Background In October 2010, Haiti was struck by a large-scale cholera epidemic.
The project was implemented jointly by LWF and NCA.
Dispensers are a source-based water quality intervention with promising uptake results in development contexts.
After a series of earthquakes devastated Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on 12 January 2010, safe excreta disposal became an urgent priority.
In peri-urban Monrovia, contaminated hand-dug wells were contributing to cholera outbreaks.
