Its great to see hundreds more children having easy access to safe drinking water.

After very heavy rain over several days a massive downpour has hit the waterlogged mountains in Northern Thailand in the last two days.

This has led to major damage across a wide area.

The situation is dire in Chiang Rai, where 12,700 households have been severely impacted, and tragically, 4 lives have been lost.

Our local partner Disaster Aid Thailand has already started to respond and will be providing assistance to many communities.

One of the critical issues in such flooding events is the fact that there is no safe clean water and Disaster Aid Australia has been asked to assist with our Smart Aid SkyHydrants.

Each SkyHydrant GEM Rapid Response Pack can provide 5,000 litres/day of clean bacteria free water.

Disater Aid Response Team members (DARTs) will be travelling to assist with safe water and shelter for people who have either lost their homes or have them badly damaged.

Our new Partner ‘Safe Water for Every Child-Philippines’ has been busy visiting Barangays in Mindanao for site assessments.

Community consultation is a key part of the assessment in order to achieve a sustainable long term solution.

There are meetings with the community to explain how the SkyHydrant works and what needs to be done to make sure it is looked after. properly.

Following this a SkyHydrant is temporarily set up to demonstrate the unit and check that the water is suitable for filtration.

As you can see from the below photograph the SkyHydrant can make a major difference to the quality of the water.

Once we are certain that the community is happy with the improvement, and is committed to doing their part of the project, we can move on to planning a permanent installation.
