Class is not water but water saves lives

I am over the moon...my boss just told me that following our inspection last weekend, the request of obtaining emergency water supplies for the cities of Boma and Muanda hit by an outbreak of cholera, have been authorised.

5.000 bottles of water will be supplied to the Central Hospital of Muanda and distributed in the most critical infected areas.

The current cholera outbreak in the Bas-Congo province has provoked already 5 confirmed dead and over 100 contaminated people.

Colleagues from UNICEF and WHO will be supervising the water distribution process.

Cholera outbreaks even if not frequent in this part of the Congo, remain nevertheless endemic and difficult to eradicate once for all.

The current dry season with very limited rainfalls in last month has clearly worsened the situation.
