Fundraising

Our fundraising efforts have involved both private and public donors. Private donations have provided important funding for the research and development of the system. The major public donor has been the U.S. Agency for International Development/Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. These public funds have gone toward implementation programs. HRC’s fundraising efforts always consider our primary goal for the initiative and that is to efficiently coordinate this effort and to ensure that all countries will benefit equally from this system as the developing world has the most to gain. Public donor sponsored implementations in Southern Africa and the Middle East are expected to begin in 2009.

HRC Outreach

During 2008 Dr. Eylon Shamir of HRC volunteered his services with the “Water Initiative” program at the Elementary Institute of Science in San Diego. The Institute is a non-profit science and technology learning center for youth of various ages. The Water Initiative is an educational program that is geared for ages 13-15 in which the participants study and develop projects related to local water issues. Dr. Shamir gave a presentation on water conservation issues in San Diego and he also mentored a group of students in the creation of a pamphlet and a presentation that addresses past, present, and future availability of water resources in the San Diego region as well as an evaluation of various conservation measures.
