Dr.
John L. Tarpley spent 15 years
(1978-1993) in Ogbomoso, Nigeria as
a surgeon in a Baptist Missionary
Hospital. During David Eller's frequent
visits he was inspired by Dr. Tarpley
to help aid in delivering safe water
to rural villages.
This inspiration led to the SolarPedalflo
technology. Today, Dr. Tarpley is a Professor
of Surgery at Vanderbilt University and
has this to say about the MWI SolarPedalflo
Pump and its benefits:
|
 |
..."Two
out of five Nigerian children
die by the age of five, in great
part because of impure and inadequate
water. The provision of adequate
and safe water in the developing
world will do more to prevent
disease and promote health than
any other single measure. The
SolarPedalflo unit represents
a needed marriage of modern
engineering with appropriate
technology. This is an exciting
boon for millions in the tropics,
especially children and particularly
Africa...”
