Alpha 2 - Kampung Kopuron<br />

Throughout Sabah there are still remote communities without access to<br />

clean, drinkable water. In many villages water is collected in large tanks<br />

and barrels from rainfall or from polluted rivers, meaning local residents<br />

are at risk from poor health. Gravity water feed systems are a simple and<br />

inexpensive way of providing local communities with fresh water.<br />

Kampung Kopuron is in the Telupid district of Sabah, which is four hours<br />

from Kota Kinabalu. Prior to this project, residents suffered from a lack of<br />

water as the community shared its water source with a nearby kampung.<br />

In the village, <strong>Raleigh</strong> groups installed a new filter system, designed by<br />

Tomher Industries that had never been tried before in Malaysia. The new<br />

system will deliver clean drinking water straight from the tap for the first<br />

time in Sabah. Villagers no longer have to boil water before using it.<br />

Throughout the project <strong>Raleigh</strong> worked in partnership with Tomher<br />

Industries, who provided the filtration system and PACOS Trust, a<br />

community based voluntary organisation. It is hoped that the success<br />

of this project will allow it to be used as a model for similar projects in<br />

the future. <strong>Raleigh</strong> is grateful to HSBC who provided the funding for this<br />

project.<br />

Terdapat banyak kampung terpencil di Sabah yang belum mempunyai<br />

sumber air yang bersih untuk pengunaan harian. Di kebanyakan<br />

kampung-kampung ini air dikumpul dalam tangki-tangki yang besar dari<br />

hujan ataupun sungai yang dicemari. Ini bermaksud kesihatan pendudukpenduduk<br />

kampung-kampung berisiko.<br />

Kampung Kopuron terletak di daerah Telupid, lebih kurang empat jam<br />

dari Kota Kinabalu. Sebelum projek ini dilaksanakan, kampung ini tidak<br />

mendapat air yang mencukupi kerana berkongsi punca air dengan<br />

kampung-kampung yang berhampiran.<br />

Di kampung ini, kumpulan-kumpulan <strong>Raleigh</strong> telah memasang system<br />

air graviti yang baru, lengkap dengan system penapisan yang direka oleh<br />

syarikat Tomher Industrial yang belum pernah digunakan di Malaysia<br />

sebelum ini. Sistem yang baru ini akan membekalkan air yang boleh<br />

diminum terus dari paip tanpa dimasak terdahulu.<br />

Projek ini merupakan hasil usaha sama di antara <strong>Raleigh</strong> dengan<br />

Tomher Industrial, yang membekalkan system penapisan tersebut, dan<br />

PACOS Trust, sebuah organisasi komuniti yang membantu komunitikomuniti<br />

di Malaysia. Adalah diharapkan bahawa kejayaan projek ini<br />

membolehkannya menjadi contoh untuk projek yang sepertinya di masa<br />

depan.<br />

<strong>Raleigh</strong> berterima kasih terhadap HSBC yang telah menaja projek ini.<br />
