Disaster Aid Australia’s Safe Water for Every Child program is based on filtering an existing water supply to clean it and remove all the bacteria.

In our Philippine projects our main partner is Balay Mindanaw.

In one of this years installations the local water supply was in very poor condition and the Rotary Club of Carmen Valley based in Cagayan de Ora, Philippines, elected to become involved.

This great video, produced by the Carmen Valley Rotary Club, tells the story.

During the review visit to Bhutan in early March Disaster Aid Australia CEO Brian was also able to participate in two SkyHydrant installations.

The first location at Tashitang Middle Secondary School was sponsored by Frankston High School Interact Club.

The following picture shows the final assembly of the SkyHydrant in front of the new building that had already been prepared.

Following the completion an important event is the first drink from the new installation.

This installation will be protecting the health of over 800 pupils and staff.

A second installation was completed at Sarpang Middle Secondary School.

This installation was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Maroondah.

This unit, pictured above with the new operator and DAA CEO Brian, will be protecting 900 pupils and 75 staff.

The sponsorship cost for each student that is protected for a full year is less than $1.

Disaster Aid Australia CEO Brian Ashworth is currently in Bhutan reviewing the SkyHydrant installations completed in the last few years.

This is an important part of the ‘Safe Water for Every Child’ project ensuring the SkyHydrants are a sustainable long term solution to unsafe water.

The Operators role, in being diligent in carrying out the daily cleaning, is vital in ensuring the maximum life of the first filter membrane.

To help motivate operators Brian always makes sure he gets a photograph with the operator and makes sure they understand that the role makes them one of the most important people in the school.
