Water Project in Bateye 7

From Dr. Jorge:

Let me inform you that 3 weeks ago there was an outbreak of acute gastro enteritis nationwide, producing a very high incidence of vomit, diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, and dehydration. Hospitals were full of these cases every where.

However, in Bateye 7 there were only three (3) cases and according to my research, none of the three cases were drinking the water from the new water system at the clinic. Besides these, no one got sick with even Rotavirus, which is the number one cause of diarrhea in the world due to contaminated water.

When it comes to gastro enteritis, this helps me understand that the water at Bataye 7, after going through the filter, is preventing new cases. I drink the water and find it of good quality.

People look for water in the morning, we talk with them and we teach them the importance of a good cleaning container to store the water. Thus, we have seen less diarrhea cases since the system has been established.

Thank you!
