Another infrastructure development project, restoration of drinking

a construction of 20 km long pipeline and reconstruction of pits,
which also provide the town with water.

Within the healthcare projects the Hadrut regional hospital has
been reconstructed. The project is sponsored by the USA West Coast
affiliate of the Fund. In a month the comfortable hospital with new
operating-room, X-ray cabinet and separate isolation ward will open
its doors. The hospital will serve 40 patients. The Fund has also
purchased furniture and an ambulance for the hospital.
