ENV is proud to share the Koome Island clean water project on Myende Landing, completed in 2012. The project team trained the local people, and the construction of the water facility was completed. Here are some interviews with a few villagers and pictures from the island.
Kizito James says: “I’ve lived in Myende for more than 10 years. The water situation is going very well because we have discovered where to build the tanks, and the landlord has given the land. I’ve been attending community meetings 3 times. Over 100 people attend. We share the news of the project with our neighbors at Kisigala and Ssasa. We want safe water because we’ve been getting a lot of diseases from lake water. Diseases such as bilharzias, typhoid, and others which I don’t know.
Beach Management Unit (BMU) Chairman Igisa Jones: “I’m already trained in WASH sensitization. I like that we are going to receive a safe water project, it is going to help us a lot. We’ve been using water from the lake, which has been misused and thus contaminated. Now we will have good water that will maintain our life. I know the project will lead to us having other things, like latrines, to improve on our health and hygiene. The BMU’s role in the project is to see how safe the community is; how good the environment can be. If they’re not in good health they can’t go fishing. Health is going to be okay after the water project starts, I believe hygienically we will be better and we will not be bothering trying to boil water. We will use water directly from the tap to bathe and even drink. I believe our health’s going to improve a lot. With this project I believe the community and This Water Project are going to add more improvements in our health. I praise the donor and thank them for what they have done for us. They have given us a light and put us on the map. May they be encouraged to keep on helping us.”
Delray Beach,FL– ENVGreen Technologies is now offering creative solutions for an ever changing global environment. ENVGreen did just that by installing a rainwater harvesting system on the Hopi Reservation.
Founder and President, Mary Moran states, “We want to be able to bring effective solutions that are both environmentally friendly and economical to the people that need them.”
Gerald Numkena, leader of the Bear Clan, said, “For the first time, we have fresh water on the Mesa!”
With a product offering that includes Pre-Fabricated Facilities, Water Filtration, Solar Energy, Wind Technology, Audio/Visual Services, E-Learning and Agriculture; ENVGreen is leading the way in finding the best possible solutions.
There are many issues affecting livestock in today’s environment, including:
We have solutions designed specifically for livestock to improve their overall health and productivity. Nutritional supplements added to their food supply will help breakdown feed faster and make more nutrients available for more rapid absorption. Natural feed and water additives will help the animals’ immune systems, eliminating the need for antibiotics, and reducing mortality rates among livestock. Natural composting products enhance the natural process of breaking down animal waste, and reducing bad smells.
When used as a collective solution, or individually, our solutions can result in the following:
These solutions improve the overall life of targeted livestock, as well as the environment that they live, feed and produce in. This in turn also results in a better situation for the farmers, in terms of health, environment and economics.
This group of products serves to increase crop yields, improve their resistance to disease and pests, reduce weeds and overcome adverse climatic conditions such as drought or flooding. They can be used as an alternative to traditional fertilizers and treatments or in addition to current treatments.
These products are proven to produce a healthier, more productive plant even in times of stress, including drought, salinity and temperature. They improve the plants' ability to resist and better recover from these stresses, which has been demonstrated on a wide range of crops and plants. When a plant is treated before a stress event occurs, it is better able to tolerate that physiological or environmental challenge. When trees or vines are treated following harvest, they demonstrate enhanced recovery from the stress of harvest, are better prepared for dormancy and demonstrate the ability to build better reserves for a strong next season. Plants treated with these products are also better able to make the most efficient use of water and nutrients, further improving crop production.
Improving plant development and root growth is vital to a crop's success. Growth, quality and yield all depend on a strong plant with a large, healthy root system. These products have been tested on a variety of crops in both the greenhouse and the field, and are proven to increase root and plant development.
These products help get the most out of your fertilizer program. They help nutrients by enhancing root growth, encouraging healthy microbial populations. The products help make the best possible use of nutrients and in doing so, significantly increase yield and quality.
Improvements in yield have been demonstrated in both size and number of fruit. This increase in yield and quality has been demonstrated in a wide range of plants even during times of stress. Increasing yield while improving quality attributes, such as firmness, color, size and crop uniformity, gives the potential to maximize the return from a harvest.
More than 40% of the world’s population does not have access to a toilet. Most of these people live in poor, undeveloped countries. In these same countries, even the people who have access to facilities may not use them because they are typically poorly maintained, and as a result, are dirty and smell horrible. As a result, so much human waste is being released into the environment on a daily basis that it is creating an environmental health hazard. Poor sanitation results in the deaths of thousands of children everyday.
With latrines, maintaining them can be costly, not to mention unpleasant. Typically, in lower income areas, latrines are simply pits, with no way to flush the contents. As a result, the human waste sits there until the pit is full or until they decide to move it to another location. School children routinely avoid using these facilities because of the smell, and either find a place to go to the bathroom in the woods, or wait until they get home. Many children leave school to go home to use the bathroom and then don’t return to class.
At ENVGreen Technologies, we offer a 100% organic solution to the problem of dirty, smelly, unhealthy latrines. Within 48 hours, the foul odor associated with dirty latrines will be significantly reduced, and should be completely eliminated within the first week of using the solution. The product is a highly concentrated enzymatic system formulated to promote the remediation of odors and the organic waste from which they originate. It accelerates the decomposition and deodorizing of all organically based residues by dispensing oxygen, and deriving energy from the oxidation of simple mineral compounds and organic gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, sulfer dioxide, etc.
While each situation is unique, we have developed standard application protocols to use to effectively eliminate the problem and improve the health risks associated with latrines quickly and efficiently. The method to apply the product is simple and straight forward and can easily be done in a few minutes every day.
The solution is a revolutionary and clinically approved insecticidal coating specifically developed to eradicate insect pests. The unique property of the product will attack the nervous and muscular system of insects. When a mosquito lands on the treated surface, the insect will absorb traces of the solution. This will result in paralysis and death within a few minutes.
The effectiveness of the product is guaranteed for a minimum period of 2 years from the date of
application, making it both economically and functionally efficient. It can dramatically reduce the spread of infection-carrying insects and so lower the risk of catching diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunya and chagas disease.
Biting insects and other species such as flies and cockroaches also carry numerous diseases.
Mosquitoes alone cause 2-3 million deaths annually. As well as spreading disease, insect bites can also cause pain, itching and swelling and general discomfort.
Our solution dries to a clear finish over existing hard surfaces and is effective against such insects as:
It also contains an antimicrobial biocide, making it antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. It is 100% safe to use following manufacturer’s instructions, is easy to apply and is not mixed or diluted with any other product. The components have been strenuously tested and approved in the UK.
The product contains an active ingredient which combines an advanced generation pyrethroid with a unique capsule suspension formulation for outstanding protection against numerous insect pests. The microencapsulated water-based formulation offers superior insect control. Once the formulation has been applied and dries, the active ingredient is released from the capsules.
Control will occur primarily through direct contact of the insect pest with the capsules, with the pyrethroid transferring directly from the capsule to the cuticle of the insect. It is also possible for the capsules to be ingested in the case of insect pests which preen themselves, such as cockroaches
In addition to the benefits it offers to populations affected by vector-borne diseases, it is equally of use to the organizations such as the United Nations, whose personnel are regularly called upon to enter areas of natural disaster and war zones where they are often exposed to an abundance of deadly insects, viruses and bacteria.
The solution is an insecticidal, water-based coating used primarily inside domestic and commercial buildings. The key function of the product is to attack the nervous and muscular system of insects. When a mosquito, for instance, lands on the treated surface, it will absorb traces of the solution. This will result in paralysis and death within a few minutes.
