United for a Sustainable America, announces outreach campaign to donate American-made, Net Zero water purification system and other technologies to Haitian orphanage and non-government organizations
United for a Sustainable America (UFASA), in conjunction with its supporters, has delivered on their promise to help Haitians become self-sustaining by donating hi-tech products and supplies to the Haitian orphanage. Last year,UFASA began a mission to find the best solutions to help people, companies and NGO’s create a more sustainable future through the use of modern technology.
UFASA donated high-quality water purification technology, low cost and environmentally safe heating technology for meals and energy storage and renewable energy distribution systems. The goal is to provide better sustainable energy products and services for the New Life Children’s Home orphanage in Port-au-Prince.
Part of the funding for these improvements at the orphanage was provided by the state of Florida Governor’s Office of Tourism, Trade & Economic Development (OTTED).The funds provided by OTTED,UFASA and organization supporters have far exceeded the amount they originally asked for. UFASAmembers are excited that their contribution will help the orphanage and the surrounding community. The water purification technology includes a hand pump from GenPro Energy Solutions and Net Zero Now LLC, which can produce 750 gallons of clean, high quality water a day. The pump is a significant breakthrough to aid in water purification and emergency disaster relief.
“We are glad to offer this unique solution to UFASA and their work in Haiti,” says Dwight Patterson with GenPro Energy Solutions. “Developed by proven inventors in the water purification industry, this new eight stage purification process hand pump has been tested in laboratory’s to effectively remove 99.9999% of bacteria in traditionally contaminated water sources without using a fossil fuel energy to produce the clean water.”
President of the UFASA board of directors Anthony Cannon agrees saying, “Haiti has been plagued by multiple natural disasters in recent years. UFASA and our partners are using donations to show that alternative technologies made in America can stimulate economic growth here at home while helping solve many of the issues plaguing Haiti. This can also lead to more jobs for the locals.”
UFASA executive director Adam Schlachter appreciates the multiple companies that contributed to the orphanage project, “We know it can make a huge difference to the people. We were glad to provide additional items such as an organic fertilizer alternative and Utility Flame, an eco-friendly substance that creates a flameless heat.” Since conditions are so rugged in Haiti, Utility Flame can help solve or reduce uncontained fires that have burned several homes and tents in the past.
UFASA’s donation also included Sea-Crop organic fertilizer and Perma Frost refrigerant. The companies involved serve as examples of what American businesses and technology can offer the world during economic recovery.
Miriam Frederick with New Life Children’s Home told UFASA, “We are so grateful for what you all are doing for New Life Children’s Home and the impact it will have on the future of our children. This is also your children’s home as they love you and the personal time you spent with them they will always remember until you return.”
