Bio Sand Filter

Just a reminder that every 20 seconds, one child in our world dies from water-borne illness. This would wipe out a whole primary school class – every 10 minutes.

In Vietnam we visited a man on the way to a distribution who was keen to show us his water filter.  He was very proud of the way he had his filter under shelter in a clean and protected environment and that he could easily access clean water by a series of pipes and buckets.   He was also very quick to tell us that his family had fewer incidents of eye infections since the water filter had been installed.
