In March 2018 we found ourselves in Burkina Faso having an important meeting with Darrell from Sawyer International (https://international.sawyer.com/) and John and Ray from Amor Europe (https://www.facebook.com/Amoreurope/) .



A pilot project was established in the village of Kodeni, a suburb of Bobo-Dioulasso - the second city of Burkina Faso - to provide water filters and training for the village. The families of the Kodeni School Project, funded by schools and churches in Folkestone and facilitated by Aid to Burkina, (http://kodenischool.org.uk/) were given the filters and buckets necessary to provide themselves with clean drinking water. Using a tablet-based questionnaire there was measurable reduction in symptoms caused by water borne diseases within 2 weeks.




Each water filter, bucket and tubing costs providing a family with clean water costs about £25. And provides up to 1 million gallons of safe water before it needs replacing!
