In Puerto Rico, Innovative Solar Projects Aid Kids in Need

Alex Hatoum, managing director of Infinitum Humanitarian Systems, and the company's CEO Eric Rasmussen, a retired Naval medical doctor, collaborated with MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the Roddenberry Foundation to develop Water Aid and Renewable Power, or WARP. WARP uses solar power to run a submersible pump and a purification system to produce between 850 gallons and 1000 gallons of clean water daily. The system was installed on the roof of a Boys & Girls Club in the Puerto Rican town of Loiza to bring much-needed clean water to the 30,000 residents.
