Sept. 14, 2007 -- The need for Sub-Saharan African to meet the UN MDGs by 2015 is critical for Nigeria as the meeting of that goal by Nigeria will be a plus for Sub-Saharan Africa.
Safe water access is a cross-cutting issue in meeting other goals. Safe Water Africa has announced the maiden launch of the PUR Water Purifier, an important tool for providing safe water for all African children, Nigeria Project.
The First Lady of Nigeria Hajia Turai Yar' Adua, as the grand patron of the Safe Water Africa Community Initiative (SWACI), will launch the project on Sept. 25, 2007, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria.
Procter and Gamble, a major partner in the Nigeria project, will be at the launch as well as other stakeholders.
