The Origin of the Andaman Water Project

The Andaman Water Project is a Disaster Management Unit of EHA (Emmanuel Hospital Association). The Andaman Islands were hit by the Dec 2004 tsunami, and soon thereafter EHA started a community health project known as The Asha Sagar Project. From their village surveys it quickly realized that many of those effected by the tsunami did not have access to a clean source of drinking water. So that Andaman Water Project was started to try to increase the quality, quantity and proximity of clean water to those people.
