Safe Water and Health
Safe Water
The most common cause of death in the developing world is drinking dirty and diseased water.
In line with the UN Millenium Development Goals, ATI has pledged to help tackle this and provide safe, clean drinking water to those who have none. For only £150 each, ATI has installed safe water tube wells in places such as Nepal and Pakistan.
Many more are needed and we can arrange these wells in your name or the name of a loved one and fix a plaque on site. A photo of the completed well will be returned to you as feedback.
Larger schemes, providing water to whole communities are needed too – please give generously to our safe water fund.

Combatting disease
Over 20 million people have contracted and died from HIV/AIDS and malaria kills over 1 million people each year. Both these diseases affect the poorest communities, particularly in Africa. Preventing these diseases remains a number one priority for many relief agencies and ATI is no different. With educational and awareness workshops for HIV, blood screening for Hepatitis as well as basic equipment such as nets for the prevention of mosquito bites for malaria, ATI has helped to save lives in some of the world’s most deprived communities.

Every year over half a million women die in child birth and over 11 million children under five years old die also. Many of these deaths are avoidable through basic health and hygiene awareness and through the use of inexpensive treatments and interventions. This is a particularly vulnerable section of the community and ATI has been working alongside various partners around the world to provide timely and proactive services to address this need.
Monthly medical camps in earthquake effected Kashmir and weekly camps at the Iriwadi Delta in Burma, with partners Doctors Worldwide, have successfully diagnosed and treated thousands of women and children. The average ratio of women to men visiting the clinic is 3:1 with over a quarter of the patients being under 5 years of age.
