Appropriate Technology Asia (ATA) is a British organization mainly working in the Himalayan region. ATA’a aim is to find marginal and threatened populations in environmentally challenging situations in Asia and help them meet their basic needs for housing, household energy, safe water, food and good health. ATA focuses on technology and knowledge that is appropriate and environmentally sustainable.
ATA China has been working in Qinghai area since 1999, in the Yulshul Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Minghe County and Capu township, Hualong County with local partners and communities. ATA’s priorities are: health, education and greenhouse development, food security and rain water harvesting.
Currently, ATA China is working in Hualong County with the local government's support, on sanitation projects through provision of hygienic and environmentally suitable toilet facilities to rural households and institutional buildings, Community Greenhouses, Development of Sustainable Agriculture techniques, provision of drinking water and development of sustainable fuel sources. All of these projects will be finished later of this year.
ATA has committed to working in China for a minimum of 10 years and the projects undertaken run over a period of 1 - 5 years, depending on the sector and type of project being implemented.
For the next few years ATA will be focusing work to aim towards building the area as a model for sustainable development to decrease the reliance on local government, friends and neighbors to meet the basic needs of rural areas, so that the knowledge, information and skills can be disseminated to farmers of other regions. Projects will include work in the sector of food security, water, sustainable agriculture, training, provision of agricultural infrastructure - such as greenhouses and new low cost techniques and technologies for sanitation, health and food storage and refrigeration.
ATA is supported by a number of private UK and European Trusts, most notably the Miriam Dean Fund. Other donors include the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation, the UK Department for International Development and the European Union.
