Installation of the disinfection & pumping solution will have to take place in phases, with multiple trips. The scope will be expanded to other villages so clean water can be distributed all over the region.

Project Message

"It is easy to take for granted the things we have in this developed world. God bless those who made that possible but we need to help those who are not as developed and dying because of it."
