We need your help  At 3:34 am on February 27th Chile was hit with a major earthquake – one that we now know was the fifth largest recorded since records began.    Near the epicenter, where the quake registered a magnitude 8.8 on the Richter scale, many families lost everything, including their homes and possessions.     For most people, this meant they also lost water, either immediately since many depend on electricity to pump water from wells, or soon after the quake hit as the storage tanks ran out.  We need to help these people, and right now clean water is the most urgent thing they need. So please help us support this appeal.
What we are doing and how you can help We have a plan to help directly and we are installing as many Solar Pumps as we can afford, the concept is there are many small villages who have no power and no access to water, so the Solar Pumps will be installed asap and will pump away without electricity or generators providing the most important resource these people need, clean water.  Right now we have the donations for over 10 small pumps and we are looking for your help to install more.    

Solar Pumps for Chiles Earthquake Regions

Following Chile’s massive Earthquake and Tsunami wave there is a huge amount of damage in the south and countless people homeless and without water or power.

We have a plan to help directly and we are going to install as many Solar Pumps as we can afford, the concept is there are many small villages who have no power and no access to water, so the Solar Pumps will be installed asap and will pump away without electricity or generators providing the most important resource these people need, clean water.

We are working on three different levels. Time is critical

Level 1.  Starts with providing water for survival.

Level 2.  The next phase which is already becoming a huge problem is sanitation.To help prevent disease spreading we will be providing hot water via solar heaters for healthcare and sanitation.

Level 3. Rebuilding and educating for future generations about renewable energy and preparation for post-disaster care.

Can you help us and donate funds or any equipment that will help – Pumps, Photovoltaic Panels (PV), Charge Controller, Inverters, Racking, Cables and Batteries.  Go directly to our donate page.

 

Right now we are really pleased to have the funds for the small pumps but we believe we can do more and with your help we are going to make a real difference. Thank you.
