Malteser International will bring two drinking water treatment plants of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) from Yangon to Labutta in the Irrawaddy Delta. During the past days, staff members of the THW in Yangon intensively trained Malteser International personnel in the construction, handling and maintenance of the water treatment plants.

One of the two plants will be installed on the grounds of the hospital in Labutta where it will produce 135 gallons of drinking water per hour. The other bigger plant will be set up in the center of Labutta; it can produce thousands of gallons of drinking water per hour.
