Thank You for Donating
Thank you so much for your donation! Our goal for 2015 is $5,000 to fund six more water systems that provide safe drinking water for preschool and primary school children in rural schools in Vietnam. Your donation goes directly towards purchase and installation of the RO water stations, educating the community about how to use them, and routine maintenance. Additionally, the boys and girls attending school will learn about community health and hygiene, including hand-washing. They’ll be able to share this new knowledge and promote healthy hygiene habits with their own families and communities. Healthy kids stay in school to complete their education instead of being at home due to illness and sickness. Your donation does more than providing water stations: it truly provides hope and a chance for a healthy future for many children and families.
Where Your Donation Dollars Go
MEDRIX has partnered with the Department for Preventative Health in Hue, Vietnam for several years. Candidate schools in Vietnam have most of their populations living with incomes near the poverty line. Our successful installations and sustainable operations during the past three years strongly convinced us that we were following the right approach. Our 14 previous installations in schools all continue to operate successfully, and improve the sanitation habits of countless children from the communities.
In 2014, MEDRIX installed six new water systems to promote safe drinking water in schools. The systems varied in size depending on school size. Since the schools operate for 11 months of the year, it is important to install systems that will effectively and reliably provide safe drinking water for the students. In our calculations, this project’s cost is about $1 per student per month.
Thank you for helping MEDRIX make a difference in the lives of children and families in Vietnam! Your donations and support are very appreciated, and truly go a long way to providing hope and health for many boys and girls who dream about being able to finish their education!
