Second time supporting Ukraine
The major flooding caused by the dam breaking in the Ukrainian region of Kherson in June this year not only resulted in the loss of homes, but also created a major problem in terms of the shortage of drinking water.
JICA decided to send water purifiers to support the local water supply, and requested that each water purifier manufacturer confirm the availability of stock that could be delivered urgently.
Our company, which had a delivery record of 11 water purifiers to the city of Odessa through the city of Yokohama in 2022, also received a request and declared 5 Cycloclean 1500 gasoline engine models, the same as the products provided to the city of Odessa, and 28 CC Portable SPX carry-case models.
All the products, including 8 months’ worth of spare filters for both models, were delivered to the JICA-designated warehouse in November and passed the shipping inspection.
The situation on the ground remains uncertain, but we can only hope that things will start to improve soon.
