Just 2 1/2 years ago in October 2015 Judy and I made a second trip to Kenya and set up a Test Plot of 16 Maasai villages to determine the effectiveness of the Sawyer Portable Bio-Water Filtration System we hoped to introduce to the Rift Valley. Little did we know how effective and popular they would be!

 

To date, we’ve placed 247 Sawyer Filters in 187 Maasai and Kampo villages, 3 rural health facilities and 1 school in not only the Rift Valley but also in east and northeastern Kenya. These filters have purified over 1,500,000 gallons of polluted water for over 57,000 men, women, and children.

One week ago we introduced 220 Chujio Filter Systems to the Maasai and Kampo people and they like them even more! They’re just as effective as the Sawyer Filter, much cheaper, much easier to clean and maintain and even better, they’re locally manufactured just northeast of Nairobi in Limuru, Kenya. More than 35 people are employed at Chujio Filters. Dr. Wanja Wamburgu and her mother Agatha Kamwana are the owners. Not only is Clean Water Kenya helping to bring purified potable water to the most needy of Kenya, but in doing so we’re helping to gainfully employ the local population and also boosting the local economy. This is a win-win-win situation!

We now stand at 909 Bio-Water Filters distributed: 467 in Kenya and 442 in Puerto Rico. The 236 Rain Barrels are all in Kenya. We hope to have distributed over 1,000 Filters by the end of the year.

None of this could be possible without the help of our DONORS, VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS! Click on our PARTNERS AND DONORS and see how far-ranging our base is!
