Timor Leste Training

by Brian Ashworth, posted in Assisting DAI Partners, News, Safe Water for Every Child, Timor

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.

5 x Healthier

by Brian Ashworth, posted in Assisting DAI Partners, Safe Water for Every Child, WASH

The United Nations believe 80% of illnesses and deaths in developing countries is due to contaminated drinking water.

That means safe water can prevent four out of every five illnesses.

Disaster Aid Australia has seen the truth of this statistic.

Our installations In India in conjunction with Disaster Aid India and the Diganta Swaraj Foundation Reduced School Absences by 88%

The water is not only safer and looks cleaner. . . . but it tastes better because our SkyHydrants don’t add chemicals in the filtration process.
