Disaster Aid Australia are working to increase our ‘Safe Water for Every Child’ program in Timor-Leste.

To ensure sustainable operations of our SkyHydrants we are committed to training.

During the first week of January we ran a training course for Jacinto Araujo Da Silva from the Ossu community.

Jacinto’s visit was sponsored by WH WASH Consultants, one of our newest partners.

Training involved all aspects of the installation, and operation of a SkyHydrant.
