The History
Already Developing World Solar has impacted many places around the world.
In 2000 a complete water system including; a well, solar water pumps, a concrete
storage tank, piping and three Sol*Saver units were installed in Bagio, Philippines.
An additional 30 Family Sol*Savers were donated to surrounding communities
as well.
The most recent endeavor occurred in 2002 in Chiapas, Mexico where 10 community
systems and 30 Family Sol*Savers have been installed. Due to the tremendous
efforts and cooperation of the Provincial Department of Health in Chiapas,
Mexico, Developing World Solar has now completed thousands of hours of field
trials on family sized units. The impact of these pasteurizers is evident
in the significant drop in cases of cholera and gastrointestinal diseases
among
both adults and children.
Other donations of the Family Sol*Saver have been made to other organizations
doing work in Africa.
As funds are made available additional installations in Peru, Kenya and
India will begin.
