Dear ,
April 2015
 
Thousands of victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal on April 25th are in acute need of safe drinking water. The Swiss company Trunz Water Systems has a "Survivor" water treatment plant in Bharatpur that is providing safe drinking water to the city hospital.
 
They are seeking financial support to send another 10 Survivor units to Nepal. Each one will provide up to 400 people with safe drinking water daily. Please view details here to support this good cause.
 
Kind regards,
