WOMEN & CHILDREN

-----

In Africa alone, people spend 40 billion hours every year walking for water. Women and children usually bear the burden of water collection, walking miles to the nearest source, which is unprotected and likely contaminated.

Time spent walking and resulting diseases keep them from school, work and taking care of their families. Along their long walk, they're subjected to a greater risk of harassment and sexual assault. With safe water nearby, women are free to pursue new opportunities and improve their families’ lives.

Every 21 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness

Women spend 200 million hours a day collecting water

CERTIFIED BY ME

----

I used to work in both Uganda and Sudan, Africa. I know what it is to pump water from a well. I know the simplicity of the impact of water on the community.

I can also vouch that these water filters will be constructed in the cheapest and most holistic way. The family will receive emotional and spiritual support as well as a biosand filter.

REALLY CHEAP

----

Each BioSand Filter costs $120. There are no admin and no labour fees in their construction. It is done through a local charity overseen by International Aid Services.

----

One BioSand Filter for a family of Six

Lasts for three years +

----

Assuming Five glasses of water each day. It only costs $3.14 for ONE THOUSAND glasses of water!!

That's less than 0.32c each.
