Habari Wine to Water Team --that's you!

I recently returned from Uganda, where we are doing a large biosand filter push.  Along with our partners, Connect Africa, we will have manufactured 250 biosand filters between our two community resource centers, in Kigumba and Attiak, by the end of August!  Our local staff has trained village leaders who help manufacture these filters which are made simply from concrete, gravel, and media sand...all locally available.  The filters are installed in rural homes near our centers where clean water is greatly needed. The footprint of those we are able to reach is growing rapidly as all of these will be installed by September.  These 250 biosand water filters for this quarter will provide clean water for over 3,000 Ugandans who have been suffering without it.  We are planning to manufacture and distribute even more filters next quarter.  Excellent work team!
