Ongoing Research and Service Efforts in Haiti and Benin (West Africa)

---

This site is an entry way into the service and research work being performed in Haiti and Benin:

-Benin-

Our efforts in Benin have evolved from an early drilling project to multiple research and service efforts ranging from educational initiatives to research on water quality. We invite you to view our web page on the

Benin Project

-Haiti-

Our efforts in Haiti are currently on hold due to political instability in the country. Our most recent efforts were in March 2005.

This project is a pure service project involving interactions with Lifewater International and undergraduate / graduate students from Notre Dame. If you would like to see images of early trips (up through 2001 – hopefully we will update this soon to include trips through 2005) please visit our site on the

Haiti Project

-REU Site-

We have also run an REU site on developing countries. Although the site is now inactive, educational experiments on involving undergraduates in research in international settings continues.
