Vanuatu Cyclone Pam Relief
2700 residents reached
Wateroam provided ROAMfilter™ Ultra systems through Relief.sg (Relief Singapore) and the Singapore Red Cross for relief efforts in Vanuatu following the devastating effects of Cyclone Pam. One of the systems were deployed on the volcanic island of Tanna, which was considered to be the area worst hit by Cyclone Pam. The ROAMfilter™ Ultra system filtered water from a muddy creek 7km away, providing clean drinking water into the town of Isangel that has a population of 4000. It was more than what one ROAMfilter™Ultra unit can provide (one unit supports 500-800 people) but at least it provides some relief, and has added a permanent alternative water source to the town’s water network.
