Outcome of the Water Project of the Swiss Union

I will gladly inform you about the outcome of the Water Project of the Swiss Union

2006 – 2008

We are very proud that the project was a bigger success than was anticipated.
The Swiss Union collected much more money than was foreseen. We got 120'000,- Euros, the Soroptimists in Lviv act as trustee and survey the progress of the project. They make sure that the money is spent cost-effectively for the installation of pipes and sanitation in the hospital.

CHF 25.000,- = E. 16.831,- have been spent before October 2007
With the rest of the money the sanitation in the hospital is nearly completed and the second wing can get started yet.
Total amount after 1 October Euro 103.169,-

12 Swiss Soroptimists and 2 husbands met the Lviv sisters last summer and were very pleased about the progress of the work. It was a happy moment when we visited the new wing. One mother told us that she now feels much more at ease when her child has to go to hospital, as it is no longer a mouldy place.
What's more: Our visit had the side effect, that individual Soroptimists collected money for windows, doors, electric installations, etc. as the Soroptimist Union project only entails water and sanitation installations.

There is still a lot of work to do which means employment for people in the region.
