Introduction
It is often difficult for rural communities to get access to water in their homes, leading to poor personal hygiene, and the water they do get they are unable to filter for drinking as the infrastructure in the areas is inadequate. Due to the lack of clean and safe drinking water people get sick and sanitation practices become low on the locals' list of priorities. Another aspect is that many schools, healthcare centres in rural communities also do not have access to clean and safe water..
Report
What is exciting is that we have just partnered with an innovative group in the United Kingdom that will be helping us with the help of our supporters and donors to get new filtration systems out to communities that are easy to maintain and can provide enough water for upto 150 people.
We decided today is the best to launch this project and while the filters are rather cheap and we will purchase and install as we get funding our ultimate goal is to raise $25,000 to fund two or three full communities (number dependant).
Please remember for every donation up to $50 is matched by 50% for GlobalGiving from 4-8th April 2020
Thank you for your support
