L’introduction des citernes familiales, un levier majeur de la transformation des mornes haïtiens
Abstract
Observations made during training at the Madian-Salagnac center led to the construction of private cisterns and community impluviums (rainwater collectors) in Haiti. The introduction of cisterns in Salagnac (Nippes) enabled peasant families to increase their farming income, to focus on extra-agricultural activities (building work), to have access to good-quality water, to improve their health, and to give the women and children more time for other activities.
