Vanuatu Cyclone Harold Relief

5000 people reached

Wateroam partnered with Sea Mercy to provide relief efforts in Vanuatu following the devastating Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Harold, which caused extensive infrastructural damage and left 160,000 households deprived of food, shelter and clean water.

Sea Mercy deployed a total of 260 ROAMfilter Plus systems in provinces which suffered the worst impacts – Penama, Malampa and Sanma. The easy-to-use water filters were distributed to healthcare centres, community halls and other centralized locations where people could fill their buckets with drinking water. Wateroam's life-saving water solution helped local villagers have easier access to safe and clean water without having to pour hours into travelling long distances to collect water.

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.
