Pune News: International WeLoveU Foundation Donated Water Purifier At Shivarkar Hospital In Wanawadi
The International WeLoveU Foundation, in collaboration with Shivarkar Hospital, Wanwadi, Pune assisted in the establishment of the Water Purification Plant to improve the medical environment by providing clean water to patients and medical staff.
As an affiliate organization of the UN DGC (Global Communications Department), the International WeLoveU Foundation (Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah, henceforth referred to as WeLoveU) helped set up the Water Purification Plant at Shivarkar Hospital Wanwadi, Pune, Maharashtra, on the 11th Sept 2024. Maharashtra faces water scarcity due to irregular rainfall patterns, rapid urbanization, and a growing population. This collaboration is expected to significantly improve the medical environment by providing clean water to patients and medical staff.
On that morning, members of the WeLoveU foundation, along with their families and neighbors, visited the hospital and donated an 80K drinking fountain and a water purification filter. During the donation ceremony, attended by hospital officials and Pune Municipal Corporation representatives, a WeLoveU official stated, “Since 80% of the human body is made of water, it is not an exaggeration to say that water is life. Drinking clean water is the first step towards a healthy and happy life. We hope that our neighbors, who are receiving treatment for illnesses at the hospital, will soon return to their healthy daily lives with clean water.”
Dr. Nina Borade the Health Chief of Pune City (Medical Officer of Pune Municipal Corporation), said WeLoveU in the name itself is Love, today Love is the most lacking thing in society, so delivering Love through donating Water Purifier, is a great act of showing Love to the Society. The count of waterborne diseases is continuously growing. Many people fall sick due to consumption of contaminated water. Pure Water is a basic necessity of life today, not only for us but also to keep the future generation healthy.
Dr.Dipti Bacchaw, the Medical Incharge of Shivarakar Hospital, Wanwadi expressed gratitude, saying, “ Pure water for patients is the need of the hour, by donating the Water Purifier to the Hospital Chairwoman, Zahng Gil-Jha, has done a great thing, WeLoveU foundation does not only say We Love You but has shown it through their actions, Thankyou so much for the donation”.
