Field Notes

Thanks to you, this community now has access to clean and safe drinking water. They've also been trained by our local partners on safe hygiene practices and basic maintenance of the BioSand Filter.

There are multiple families, many in the project photos, benefiting from the BioSand Filter at the household level. Our partner worked closely with community members to determine the demand for BioSand Filters. Each family using the filter contributed toward their project's construction -- a small fee, but one that helps instill a sense of personal ownership for the project.


Note: You may have noticed that a few of the project photos include a different community name than the project site name we've listed. When BioSand filters are constructed, they are all built in a single location. Sometimes, neighboring community members from an adjacent community are also included in this construction, and their filters and photos are all categorized under the same project site name. Rest assured that these sites are carefully tracked by our partners and accounted for in future monitoring and maintenance.
