Siemens Caring Hands —a charity association founded by Siemens company that provides support in major emergencies—, Plasma Waters, the Alfredo Zolezzi Foundation and the Siemens Foundation, jointed efforts to provide a plasma-based safe drinking water solution to a primary school in a rural community of Chile.
Within this framework Siemens Caring Hands funded the installation of a Plasma Water Sanitation System (PWSS) Portable Camp Unit, which provides an immediate solution that also contributes to the fight against Covid-19 and hygiene challenges.
Through this initiative, more than 150 students are receiving safe water in the primary school “El Rincón” in Puchuncaví, which plays a key role in their safe return to classes.
This project has been accompanied by a social-educational intervention led by CIDSTEM of Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, to promote STEM education and generate a lasting transformational effect in the local community.
