WORLD WATER DAY 2025!

Happy World Water Day! To celebrate World Water Day, here is a poem from our executive director, Ceallaigh Smart:

Water's Promise: A Catalyst for Change

Beneath Haiti's vibrant sun, water flows— A simple gift, yet powerful and strong,

More than mere droplets that nurture and grow, It carries the promise for which we long.

Clear streams connecting village to vision, Wells becoming forums where voices rise,

Each drop a teacher of self-decision, Each ripple expanding before our eyes.

From women who walk shorter paths each day, To children whose hands stay clean and healthy,

Communities planning their future's way, Systems transforming steadily, stealthily.

Water—not charity, but catalyst, For dignity, agency, stronger voice,
The foundation on which change can persist, Empowering people to make their choice.

So celebrate not just the flowing stream, But the hands that built the well stone by stone,

The meetings where neighbors shared their dream, The ownership of what they now call home.

For Haiti Outreach knows this sacred truth: Water flows deeper than thirst or need,

It carries the seeds of lasting reform, When communities themselves take the lead.

On this World Water Day, we recognize Water's power to transform and renew—Not just quenching thirst before our eyes, But nurturing systems, strong, just, and true.
