Grosvenor Primary launched the first water kiosk in Atlantis on Friday 1 October at the school.
Principal Terrence Adams said the unique partnership between the school, Rotary Atlantis and Bradley Chetty, CEO of BeAfribusiness affiliated to Water Kiosk, will add value to leaners of the school.
“The school will sell purified water to the community and businesses and the income generated will be used to acquire resources to deliver quality education to our learners and to assist them with their educational needs.
“The learners will also have the privilege to access the water in their classes, it is filled with minerals their bodies need the most,” Chetty said.
He said despite the fundamental role of water for human health, survival, and development, one out of nine people does not have access to clean water. Boreal Light’s solution of the Solar water desalination would afford the less fortunate to obtain the basic essential need of clean drinking water, he added.
The company designs and manufactures affordable solar water desalination systems for off-grid communities around the globe.
Systems manufactured by Boreal Light are capable of delivering high quality hygiene drinking, irrigation and fish farm and sanitation water from any kind of high saline and polluted water resources.
Powered fully by solar, simplicity of the design and affordability of the cost of the systems manufactured by Boreal Light are the three great competences the company is proud of, he said.
Danny Pietersen, President of Atlantis Rotary Club, said they have embarked on projects that uplift and serve the community. “As a club we take on projects such as soup kitchens, health outreach projects, community vegetable gardens, educational and entrepreneural projects as well as environmental projects.
“Let water become the beacon of Hope in Atlantis and we trust that the community and businesses will support us in this endeavour, as raising funds during Covid-19 is almost non-existing,” Pietersen said.
