Water Filter Pictures

These are pictures of some families in one of the villages where we offer permanent cement water filter training. We help provide some of the materials, but they do all of the labor. All of the filters pictured here were built and transported to their homes (weighing about 200 lbs.!) by their new owners! The filters provide safe drinking water to families who have no other option than boiling water. Despite the fact that this area gets over 25% more rain each year than most parts of the continental U.S., lack of water infrastructure prevents these people from having much access to clean water.
