Help us Bring Clean Water to the People of Abosoda, a village in Iraq. People in Abosoda, a poor, rural, agricultural
community of 3000 people, 70 miles west of Baghdad, have no clean
water to drink. The community has a Compact Unit (CU), which draws
water from the Euphrates River and supplies the village households,
but it is in disrepair and no longer treats the water. Cholera and
typhoid are 2 of the many diseases which people can get from drinking
untreated river water. We are raising money for a project overseen by CARE and supported by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) to purchase a mobile water purification plant. The project, which should take approximately four months, will provide residents with an acceptable amount and quality of water. If and when the national water system is extended to Abosoda, this system can be transported elsewhere. The price for the project is $68,000. Let’s see how much Dane County can raise to help save lives in Abosoda!
