The new CURE Hospital in Ethiopia scheduled for completion in January 2008 will have no potable water in its facility. CURE has asked EDGE to evaluate the situation and assist with solutions.
Place - Addis Abab, Ethiopia
Cost - $25,000
Project Targeted – Spring 2008
In the heart of Santo Domingo is a six-story hospital that sees over 80 people a day. The water supply comes from a contaminated well or a cistern that cannot be safely sealed.
Confined to a wheelchair due to an automobile accident, a pastor hopes to have a mini-water treatment plant customized for his vision. He passionately wants to supply pure water to his community of over 2,000 people.
Working in 2 communities in the Puntarenas area of Costa Rica, a team will build and install a mini-water treatment in each. At the same time community members will be taught basic health education.
