MicroAid Provides Water Purification Systems for the Ah Lett Chaung Village Clinic — 2014

In April of 2008, the most powerful cyclone on record, plowed into the delta region of Myanmar (Burma), killing 300,000 and displacing almost a million people. The accompanying storm-surge destroyed rice paddies, wells, and reservoirs.

The low-lying village of Ah Lett Chaung, across the river from Yangon, had been without a source of clean drinking water since the storm.

Even the clinic was without a source of purified water.

MicroAid provided the clinic with water purification/filtration systems.

The filters will also be introduced at the household level and, if accepted, we will distribute more to the individual families.
