Summary
This project offers one of the essential basics of health care by installing long-term purification filters to provide more than 40,000 children in pediatric hospitals with clean, safe drinking water.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
China's orphaned and hospitalized children suffer acutely from the chronic lack of potable water. In this day and age, with so many resources at our disposal, clean, safe drinking water should no longer be a privilege, but a basic right of every child.
How will this project solve this problem?
The Children's Hospital Project of A Child's right focuses on installing custom filtration systems that rid the water of 99.99999% of all bacteria and 99.999% of viruses and other pathogens - the single biggest health problem for the children we aid - the very same technology used by global food service providers (like McDonald's) to assure safe water for ice, coffee and beverages.
Potential Long Term Impact
Ninety percent of the 3 million people who die every year due to waterborne diseases are children under the age of five. Reliably safe drinking water will improve the health of hospitalized children in China.
Project Message
"This is a very good water system that cuts germs and bacteria from the tap and helps prevent diarrhea tremendously. Now, we can let the children drink water from the tap and they enjoy it very much."
- Mr. Zhu, Office Manager, Tongliao Social Welfare Institute
