| Cyclone Relief: Together, We Have the Ability to Help. Our Foundation is poised to help the victims of Cyclone Nargis like few other organizations in the entire country. We’re on the ground, ready to go, with our established "Clean Water Initiative" that has been operating in Yangon for several years. With your help clean water can be provided to the Burmese people for the weeks and years to come: • Locals are in critical need of fresh drinking water, yet a bottle now costs 15 times what it did a week ago, due to intense demand. • We run a water filter production facility just outside Yangon, where clay is fired to make simple yet effective filters that can provide clean water indefinitely, unlike bottled water. • We are among the very few authorized, licensed and legitimate operations of its kind, in a country that normally spurns foreign NGOs. • Our filter production plant sustained damage, but the kilns are operating, with locals ready to produce more filters. • We have three American volunteers in Yangon overseeing an immediate ramping up of filter production operations. • We currently have a stock of approximately 2,000 filters, but there is a need for more, and additional funds are necessary to distribute them where they are so desperately needed. • With extremely limited access to fresh water our friends in Yangon are fearful of a cholera outbreak. As those fortunate enough to be able to travel we are in a unique position to relieve the worst effects of this natural disaster through the simple gift of clean water. Please give generously to those who so desperately need your help. Asia Transpacific Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization. |
100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the project! Each dollar buys a few bricks and some clay, a kiln is built, filters are fired, and lives are saved. It’s that simple.
