PGWI-CETRA Language Solutions Partnership
PGWI would like to thank our partner CETRA Language Solutions for their support for the Cameroon Project! They have raised over $6,000 to provide a community in Cameroon with a source of clean water, and to educate and empower the people of the community to successfully maintain their water system. PGWI partnering with Meta Quality of Life Foundation (MQLIF)- Cameroon Partner, and Penn Engineers without Borders (PennEWB) are working on a phased plan for concentrating these efforts and providing additional training in the Bome Valley where the existing water system is to be rehabilitated and expanded. Check CETRA’s site for more information and to donate to the Cameroon Project.
