15 Novembro 2012 - 11:45AM
Quest Water Global, Inc. (OTCBB:QWTR) ("Quest" and or "Quest Water"
and or "Company"), an innovative water technology company, and
developer of the AQUAtap™ Community Drinking Water Station and
WEPS™ Water Extraction and Purification System, announced today
that the Government of Canada has offered its support to Quest
Water as it works with the Ministry of Industry in Angola to
deliver clean, potable water to rural communities in that country.
In a letter issued this week to the Honorable Kiala Ngone
Gabriel, Secretary of State for Industry in Angola, Her Excellency
Lisa Stadelbauer, Canada's Ambassador to Angola, states "The
Government of Canada is in support of (Quest Water) and its efforts
to assist in bringing potable water to all Angolans. We hope that
the Ministry of Industry will move quickly to execute an agreement
with Quest Water Solutions, so that the goals of the Water for All
program can be realized very soon."
"We have been working closely with Angolan officials to finalize
an agreement with the government and to lay out Quest Water's
business operations in Angola," said John Balanko, Quest Water
Global CEO & President. "We believe receiving this public
support for the AQUAtap™ from the Canadian Government will help
further instill confidence within the Angolan government in Quest
Water and our ability to deliver our technology, and most
importantly to assist those rural communities in desperate need of
clean drinking water."
Ambassador Stadelbauer further states, "Quest Water is ready not
only to provide these units (the solar-powered AQUAtap™ Community
Drinking Water Stations), but also to establish an assembly plant
in Angola to build the units, thereby providing both the water
purification systems and much-needed jobs for Angolans in rural
communities."
The Ambassador has requested a meeting at the earliest
opportunity with Secretary of State Gabriel and the newly appointed
Minister of Industry, Bernarda Gonçalves Martins Henriques da
Silva, to discuss the Water for All program and how Canadian
expertise, as provided by Quest Water Solutions, can assist Angola
in meeting the goals of the program.
About Angola's "Water for All" Program
The "Water for All" program ("Agua para Todos") is a $650
million initiative of Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
The program is managed by five Ministries: Ministry of Industry,
Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture & Rural
Development, Ministry of Environment, with the entire program
coordinated by the Ministry of Energy & Water. Under the
program, Angola has committed to providing clean water to 80% of
its rural population and 50% of urban dwellers by 2015, with
targets raised to 100% and 80%, respectively, by 2020. Current
total population of Angola is approximately 19 million with 56.7%
of the population being urban and 43.3% rural.
About AQUAtap™
Utilizing patented, solar-powered, water purification
technology, Quest Water has developed a highly efficient,
self-contained, community-operated water distribution system,
designed to provide a sustainable solution to communities who lack
the resources and infrastructure to access a clean, reliable water
source. Quest Water's compact, transportable water purifier, the
AQUAtap, is a powerful water filtration system that can take a
typically unsafe water source, like polluted wells, rivers, lakes,
and boreholes, as well as saline, and brackish sources, and create
100% purified, natural drinking water for entire communities, with
an average output of over 20,000 liters a day. The AQUAtap
technology is also beneficial to the environment, using no harmful
chemicals throughout the entire process as well as producing zero
carbon emissions. The AQUAtap was designed exclusively at the
request of the Angolan government, with ease of transport,
installation, and operation in mind.
