A Peace Bridge

by Brian Ashworth, posted in News, Philippines, Safe Water for Every Child

Earlier this week, our partner Balay Mindananw’s ‘DREAM Team’ installed a SkyHydrant in Barangay Tapodoc.

As with all installations the turn over ceremony included the signature of a formal agreement to ensure the Barangay understands their ongoing maintenance obligations.

This is a gift from the Rotary Clubs of Phillip Island & San Remo, Wonthaggi and Inverloch.

Water before treatment.

The installation of the SH was delayed several times including in December 2022 when entire populace left the Barangay due to violent conflict.

This Barangay is part of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao where the Balay Mindanaw Community-Based Peacebuilding Team has been working for many years.

Toasting success with the Safe Water

We hope that the improvement to health that the SkyHydrant brings will serve as a bridge and inspiration for the stakeholders to continue building peace among them.

Here are some photos from two of our Disaster Aid Response Team (DARTs) who have just returned from Nepal.

Andrew Gunn and Phil Gribble have been busy installing SkyHydrants.

Two of the units had been in storage in Kathmandu after a pre COVID deployment had to be cut short due to flooding.

As well as the two units already in Nepal they also took a third unit and checked on units previously Installed

Creating Hope

by Brian Ashworth, posted in News

With the new Rotary Year we are right behind this years theme.

With our ‘SmartAid‘ we restore hope following major disasters that destroy homes.

Our ‘Safe Water for Every Child‘ program we give familes the hope that their children will grow up protected from the consequences of contaminated water.

In both cases those helped can see a better future.

You can help us create hope this Rotary Year.

As part of the Process Balay Mindanaw carries out a full consultation to ensure the Barangay will look after the SkyHydrant.
