In partnership with the Municipal Health Office, we trekked for six hours to deliver 25 water filters to the ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๏ปฟ tribe in ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ญ๐๐ฒ๐๐ง๏ปฟ, Mansalay, bringing much-needed access to clean and safe drinking water.
These water filters employ cutting-edge technology designed to effectively eliminate harmful bacteria that cause water-borne diseases, such as cholera and diarrhea. By providing reliable access to clean and safe drinking water, these filters significantly improve the quality of life and promote better health outcomes for a community of approximately 800 households. This intervention not only reduces the risk of illness but also supports long-term wellness and resilience in the area.
During the visit, beneficiaries also received medicines, supplements, slippers, medical check-ups, and a comfort room through the RHUโs TRIP program.
