Water is the basic necessity of life but it is the dilemma
in third world countries that majority of their populations are deprived of access to clean and affordable drinking water. |
|
There should be no doubt that the majority of people in the third world are exposed to the hazard of drinking unsafe and polluted water. In an effort to improve this situation, MGR has started a
project where donors in the West can purchase a bottle of water for beneficiaries in the third world as a first alternative to drinking
unfiltered tap water or contaminated water from other sources. However, MGR realises that bottled water is not a substitute to a
sufficient service supplying safe drinkable tap water, but considers it to be a safe alternative or one which complements existing infrastructure to provide safe drinking quality water to the masses. |
