Africa Aid Assessment and Action Team Journey to Buduburam
|
|
Africa Aid has successfully fundraised and dispatched an Assessment and Action Team to the
Buduburam Refugee Settlement in Ghana. Clean water sources were
determined to be a top priority as no running water was present in
Buduburam, and water-borne illness and high saline prohibited
residents from drinking groundwater sources.
Working with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Africa Aid gathered extensive water
sample data from various locations on the settlement and presented the data to corporations in the
San Diego area. With committed corporate financial and engineering
team support, Africa Aid plans on implementing water projects into engineering design courses at the University
of California San Diego, allowing students and faculty to create water filtration system for use with existing
boreholes in the
Buduburam Settlement.
