An Israeli company that specializes in creating and manufacturing water treatment technology was chosen by World Vision South Africa to assist in implementing their system into communities suffering from severe droughts.
By using the humidity in the air to produce clean drinking water, its internal water treatment system can produce up to 900 liters of pure, safe-drinking water per day.
The local branch of World Vision in South Africa will transport and install the technology, called the GEN-350, in the affected communities stretched across the Eastern Cape in the months to come, and the endeavor is estimated to be fully implemented within these communities in the next two years - with the help of a $200,000 grant from the Ford Motor Company and 130,000 from the Ford Research and Advanced Engineering fund.
