‘Beyond2020’ Delivers Solar-powered Water sources To 20,000 Villagers

The report further stated that two small solar-powered water basins were erected in accordance with a groundwater pumping system to provide 20 litres of water per day to residents of the two villages.

The goal of the initiative is to improve the hygiene and health standards of the residents and access to water in the villages.

A non-profit organisation based in the United Kingdom that works with a variety of communities to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to tackle the difficulties confronted and implement the project is mentioned in the report.

According to the report, "Beyond 2020" is the continuation and expansion of the pioneering UAE-led humanitarian initiative 20by2020, which was launched by the Zayed Sustainability Prize in partnership with several leading local and international organisations in December 2019. The company is the winner of the 2017 Zayed Sustainability Award.

In its contribution, Beyond2020 represents Phase 2 of the initiative, reached 8 countries, and impacted approximately 110,000 people during its first phase and debut year.

Going "beyond generations," "beyond borders," and "beyond limits," Beyond2020 offers critical, life-transforming solutions to a broader number of beneficiaries worldwide, providing tech for good and fostering development that is inclusive and sustainable.

The report concludes with the inspiration behind the initiative, saying Beyond2020 will remain inspired by the enduring legacy of the UAE’s founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

The initiative seeks to continue championing Sheikh Zayed’s sustainability and humanitarian values by providing a unique platform for former Zayed Sustainability Prize winners and finalists to deploy their innovations in communities that need them the most and reach a much wider number of people.
