WaterHealth plans to place 50 emergency relief systems in Sri Lanka through a cooperative effort between the International Finance Corporation, the Rotary Clubs of Colombo/Colombo Regency, the Sri Lanka Red Cross, and donations received via Global Giving. Through these efforts, WHI will be providing safe drinking water to meet the short term needs of up to 100,000 displaced Sri Lankans – with added benefit that these systems can also be used to provide long term solutions. To contribute directly to relief projects in Sri Lanka, please refer to: http://www.globalgiving.com/871

WaterHealth International is also placing 3 community water systems for tsunami relief in Tamil Nadu, India. These systems have been purchased by Applied Materials and will be situated in shelters and temporary camps to meet the immediate needs of nearly 20,000 displaced people in Tamil Nadu. When the emergency subsides, each system will be moved to a new settlement and upgraded to provide a sustainable, affordable supply of safe drinking water for communities as they are rebuilt.
