We are preparing to build four new water purification units and make repairs and maintenance on many other units during the summer months. We'll have more updates soon!
But even when there isn't big news on this project, there is a lot of work happening behind the scenes. Safaa El-Derawi, our staff water engineer and Gaza Projects Assistant is always hard at work. She makes regular visits to the 65 schools and preschools/kindergartens across the Gaza Strip where MECA has installed water purification and desalination units. During her visits, she inspects the faucets, pipes, and then checks the water quality. We are committed to protecting the health and future of children in Gaza and these water tests are one of the many ways we put this belief into practice.
