Update from Honduras:
Yesterday we installed water filters for 12 different families up in the mountains of the Buena Vista community.
For only about $20 we take a big bucket, some big rocks, some small rocks, and about 100 pounds of sand, and over the course of 2 -3 weeks, this simple invention becomes its own living bio zone, filtering out harmful bacteria and organisms, and lasting up to 10 years!
How the Filter Works
• Design: A plastic container holds layered sand and gravel.
• Function: A live layer of bacteria grows inside and consumes bad bacteria as water passes through.
• Capacity: Filters roughly 5 gallons in 30 minutes, totaling over 25 gallons per day.
• Lifespan: Designed to last more than 10 years for an entire household.
• Outreach: Over 2,000 filters have been installed to help families access clean water.
