Sangkilang Water Project

The Problem

A familiar problem in many communities of North Sulawesi Indonesia, is that the ground water has very high concentrations of salt. This situation forces the local people to have to bring in fresh water from outside sources.

The Solution

This project included the installation of rainwater catchment tanks that have a filtration system in them to provide a safe source of water for the local community.
