A new campus initiative, Hydrate Haiti, begins its quest to help the people in Haiti today. There will be a series of fundraising events Soldier, student earns Purple Heart hosted by the initiative Nov. 10 to 13. All of the proceeds raised will go towards the goal of Hydrate Haiti to send water filters to the people of Haiti. “There’s an epidemic of no clean water in Haiti,” said Ben Ford, a senior majoring in his- tory and pre-law and one of the students behind the initiative. “Bart Smelley contacted me and said his philanthropy company, Global Effect, had been going down there giving water filters to people. The filters have this technology that gets fresh water to a family of seven to eight for five years. The filters cost about $30 apiece, so [Smelley] asked if we wanted to try to do this at Alabama.” The University is the first school to take part in Hydrate Haiti, though the initiative will eventually be happening at every school in the Southeastern Conference. There are four members, Ford, Elliot Rowe, Megan Brantley, Candice Rosencranz, who compose the core of the Hydrate Haiti initiative.
