24 Janvier 2013 - 3:20PM
Quest Water Global, Inc. (OTCBB:QWTR) ("Quest" and or "Quest Water"
and or "Company"), an innovative water technology company, and
developer of the AQUAtap™ Community Drinking Water Station and
WEPS™ Water Extraction and Purification System, announces it has
signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Water for
Women Foundation ("WFW Foundation") to deliver water purification
solutions to rural communities in Southern Africa. The MOU focuses
on Quest Water and the WFW Foundation assembling, deploying and
operating the Company's AQUAtap™ Community Drinking Water Supply
and Distribution Stations in specific geographic locations within
South Africa's nine provinces, including the enclave of
Lesotho. The intent of our collaboration is to provide pure
drinking water to rural communities including approximately 1,300
rural schools that currently lack a natural supply of clean
water.
"We believe that Quest Water's purification and distribution
system is an attractive and viable option for Southern Africa,"
said Ann Heystek, Chairman and Founder of the WFW Foundation in
South Africa. "Quest Water's AQUAtap Community Drinking Water
Stations are ideal for regions that lack adequate infrastructure to
distribute clean drinking water to remote rural areas. We have
been working with local government officials and financing sources
to identify water technologies that offer safe and economical
solutions while employing the best practices in green technology to
bring clean water to those most in need."
The mission of the WFW Foundation (www.WFWFoundation.com) is to
bring awareness to the plight of women and children in rural areas
throughout Africa through education and funding initiatives that
bring clean water to prevent life threatening water-borne diseases
and enable sustainable agriculture.
"The Water for Women Foundation is the ideal organization for us
to partner with. They are committed to finding innovative
solutions that purify contaminated water for women and children in
rural areas, and have the local and global connections to make
their projects happen," said John Balanko, Quest Water Global
Co-Founder and CEO. "Our initial objective is to identify and
prioritize several rural schools that are most in need and install
customized AQUAtap™ Community Drinking Water Stations commencing in
2013."
