Drinkwater Project Kundiawa Hospital May 2023
Acutally we're close to start the Crowfunding for the Drinkwater Unit from Water Source Australia. At the moment the hospital driver has to get down to the valley pumping water into a tank and driving back to hospital. This is actually their drinkwater!
Kundiawa Hospital PNG
The Drinkwater Project goes on at Kundiawa Hospital PNG.
In December 2022 while looking for a Company which is producing Drinkwater units I've found Water Source Australia-> Water Source Australia. A Foundation which already is successful in Drinkwater Projects, working with Australian Aid and looking, like me, for a cooperation.
The technology is up to date and working with IoT (Internt of Things). I've send an email to the CEO MArk Cambell who imedieately responded. We'd decided having a virtual meeting with Des Soares. During the meeting Des said that there is a hospital in need of clean drinking water - Kundiawa Hospital. He was there with PIOA -> News PIOA
For starting the project we'll need about 15'000 USD - which would be only by crowd funding available. If we are able to proceed successful there will be a good chance that we are having a cooperation helping Hospital on PNG getting clean drinking water.
I've send an email to the Hospital Management but haven't got an answer till yet.I will call them.
Update Buka Hospital November 2022
In October we had a Zoom meeting with the Swiss Embassy in Canberra, Ms Trunz of Swiss water Foundation, Mr. John Nell, a Representative of Trunz Water Systems in Australia and of course me.
Ms Trunz explained that the Donation from the Swiss Embassy for Buka Hospital, made in 2020, doesn’t cover the actual cost of now about 25’000 CHF.
Out of this reason, the project Buka Hospital must be cancelled by Swiss Water Foundation and a new location must be found.
Mr. Nell mentioned that a Hospital on Vanuatu would be good.
The Swiss Ambassador commissioned Ms Trunz to call the Buka Hospital Manager informing him about the decision and sending an e-mail afterwards with the full explanation.
