HINT in partnership with EWB-UK to provide clean water supply

by Leave a Comment

HINT is currently working with Engineers Without Borders (EWB), UK on a project dubbed “Enabling Safe Watter Supply”. The project aims to make use of the Ndongo stream in Buea to provide clean drinking water to the population of Buea and its environs.

The Research Proposal is now being advertised on EWB-UK’s websites. A group of engineering students in the UK will travel to Buea to carry out further research and to determine the best technology that can be designed to solve the problem.

Details about the Research Proposal and EWB-UK can be found here: http://www.ewb-uk.org/HINT

As you may already know, each September, we help send dozens of underprivileged children to school by providing textbooks, uniform, and fees.

Last year, we were able to assist 41 children with textbooks, uniform, and fees. Without that, many of them would not be able to go to school.

Back Packs 2008 is around the corner and we are appealing for support again. We are able to support these children through the generous support of people like you who care. On Saturday September 27, 2008 HINT will be providing school supplies to close to 50 children. With additional support, we may be able to help about 80.
