Solar Solutions for Safe Water

Community members learn to perform microbiology tests on well water and then teach others about the importance of water safety

Without water, life is impossible. Water is a precious resource in most of Africa, but much of it is contaminated, therefore-- it can still bring death. Over 1 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe water, creating major global health implications. The World Health Report estimates that water-related diseases account for one child’s death every 15 seconds.

SOLAR COOKERS INTERNATIONAL (SCI) provides effective training and low-cost alternatives to wood-fire cooking. Their products also enable women to be trained to solar pasteurize water for drinking, and how to determine if water is safe.

The Safe Water Package includes:

1 Cookit solar cooker
1 pot indicator
1 water storage container
1 reusable wax-based water pasteurization (WAPI)

Trainers are equipped with a Portable Microbiology Laboratory containing materials for 25 water tests: E. coli bacteria tests, pipettes, collection bags and a battery-operated long-wave UV lamp. SCI provides these tools and life-saving information for more than 5,000 people each year.

 

 

$44 - One Safe Water Package
$83 - Supplies for one Portable Microbiology Laboratory
