Safe Water Saves Lives
Safe Water Saves Lives is a program to supply clean water to desperate people in underdeveloped countries through a planned system of water catchment, storage and reticulation. It includes training local people in the construction of concrete tanks, and encourages them to maintain and protect their water supply system.
Education in hygiene is also offered. RAWCS volunteers travel to the various countries to instruct the local people in the skills of concrete tank construction, or other types of tanks, or tube wells.
The objectives of this program are:
- to provide safe, potable water in underdeveloped countries;
- to supply and erect rainwater tanks as appropriate;
- to install and maintain water wells; and
- to provide solar water purifiers as appropriate.
Western Region projects coming under the Safe Water Saves Lives banner include:
Health Water & Sanitation (India) -- Project 123-2004
East Bali Poverty Project (Bali, Indonesia) -- Project AP58-07
Integrated Schools Improvement (Nepal) -- Project WR602-2008
