Ramadhan Mubarak!

The situation in Gaza is dire and is worsening by the day.  So much can be discussed about what the difficulties are and what can be done about them. One of the immediate need is water, its for survival, please watch some of the videos below to see the seriousness of this issue:

Simply put, the people of Gaza do not have clean water to drink.  Their daily lives are full of fear and anxiety due to the less than ideal security and political situation.  They have little to no income due to the scarcity of jobs.  Food and medicine is in short supply.  But to add to this list that there is no drinking water is the straw that broke the camel’s back.  We have to do something, we will do something.

So what can we do?  We’ve been asking ourselves the same question.  And the answer we’ve come up with is water purifying units… check out this beauty:

This water purifying unit will produce about 100 cubic metres of clean drinking water per day.  100 cubic metres per day!  Our plan is to install six of these units in Gaza and once up and running the combined water throughput will be 600 cubic metres of drinking water per day.

There are 380 schools in the Gaza Strip that have an estimated requirement of 570 cubic metres of drinking water.  Our solution covers the need of all the schools and then some.  Put another way, our solution provides clean safe drinking water for 250,000 school children.  Fantabulous!

Jazakum Allah khair
