Your donations are making a difference!  More patients at the Mbingo Hospital now have pure water thanks to your donations through the Pure Water Ride.  A recent update from Cameroon, Africa tells of an upgrade to the Mbingo Hospital water system that you helped to pay for.  The new system has added a significant capacity to the overburdened supply, but has failed to deliver the design goal of 195,000 liters per day, due partly to organic contamination, and partly to filters which are not performing as the manufacturer claimed.  A new type of filter is being considered.

Current capacity is about 30,000 liters per day.  Though falling well short of the design, the new system is supplying much needed water to the hospital during the dry season, when the wells that normally supply the hospital dry up.  For those who would like to read the entire report by Tom Schotanus, send me an email and I will email it to you.  I may be able to post a link later.
