Duncan Bannatyne visits UNICEF projects in Bolivia
September 21, 2010.- Duncan Bannatyne, UNICEF UK Ambassador and star of 'Dragon's Den', recently returned from Bolivia. He met local entrepreneurs who are helping to meet the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) for water and sanitation in hard to reach, rural communities. Travelling three hours by boat down the Mamore River, Duncan visited the community of San Antonio de Loras with local water entrepreneur Augusto Noe. The UNICEF-supported entrepreneur has drilled over 1,000 water pumps in the last 15 years bringing safe drinking water to thousands of hard to reach children. Duncan met a little girl, Jandeera, 10, who said she no longer misses school due to ill health as she doesn’t have to collect and drink the polluted river water anymore.
