Most people around the world, including in Bhutan are in semi-locked down mode. But the Rotary Club of Thimphu has seen the busiest of times in recent weeks. Our service delivery has been going on unabated – in fact it is on a heightened mode!
Our latest projects relate to installation of patented water filtration systems in Bhutan’s institutions of learning. Installation of SkyHydrant water filters is Rotary Club of Thimphu’s single largest project – valued at AUS$1.00 million. Under this project called “BHUTAN2020”, we will be delivering 120 SkyHydrant water filters, by June end 2021. We have already delivered over 90 filters – we are right on schedule to complete delivery of all of the committed 120 filters, and MORE.
Safe water for school children
In recent weeks we have installed SkyHydrant water filters in the following 5 institutions – all filters have a capacity to dispense 12,000 liters of safe and clean water per day:
1. Gesar Gyalpo University, Thimphu
2. Shaba MSS, Paro
3. Taju LSS, Paro
4. Logodama LSS, Punakha
5. Shengana LSS, Punakha
Ten of these fabulous filters are due to be installed in schools in the East – beginning next week. Five more will be installed thereafter – in Danaga and Tsirang areas. Ten more units are due to arrive from Australia – provided the Druk Air operates its cargo or relief flights.
We are actually keen to install these fabulous filers in schools in the South of the country since water quality there is not so good. Sadly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the South is out of bounds for travel.
