Following talks with the Managing Director Pieter van der Bijl and Project Manager Erjan Klaassen they generously agreed to help upgrade the hospital's  disintegrating sewer system. This was the result of erosion of land around the hospital and collapse of the old colonial pipes. The sewage was contaminating the water supply nearby, leaving local families with no access to clean water.

The situation had become desperate but the work has now been completed. Ballast Nedam also supplied laterite to level out the grounds in the hospital to enable easier access for vehicles, we are so grateful for all their help and expertise.
