Drip Filters Project with The Rotary Club of Patong Beach for Thailand
On the 3rd of March 2012, staff and
friends of AD participated in installing the “Drip filters project” in the
beautiful Laem Naew village, which is situated in Suksamran Disctrict. This
project set up by Rotary Club of Patong Beach (RCoPB) has been a real success thanks to the cooperation
with Andaman Discoveries. Rotary Club of Patong Beach is an English Speaking
Club, located in Phuket, with members from 13 different countries, which was
set up to support communities after tsunami.
Our first installation for the project
was in Ban Chimee for 60 drip filters, and Bang Lampu for 65 drip filters on 19th
February 2012. Many villages in Thailand
don’t have access to water and it usually comes from polluted sources. As
there’s no access to electricity, usual water filtration systems are not practical.
The villagers also use rainwater stored in tanks for drinking water then boil or
filter but it often runs out during the dry season.
The Drip Filter is a ceramic system,
and a low cost alternative to provide these families with bacteria and
pollution free drinking water, they can have a local drinking water instead of
buying bottles of water from the mainland.
We are very active in the communities
and have a long relationship with the RCoPB through other projects and have the
capability to follow up and make sure the Drip Filters are properly used and
maintained thanks to our social network.
For this second
installation we carried 31 drip filters for more than a 100 people, and it was
very interesting to be part of this project to make sure everything was going
well and also see the cooperation between the villagers (Andaman Discoveries)
and the Rotary Club of Patong Beach.
On the 17th of
March, we also assembled a total of 64 drip filters and gave instructions to the
Moken and Thai families on the island
of Koh Phratong and in
the remote villages of Tung Dap and Ban Lions, on how to best use the filter.
