The CORAF Foundation has initiated a transformative project centered around the implementation of Biosand Water Filters, aimed at providing clean and safe drinking water to communities in need. This project is a response to the growing challenges of waterborne diseases, which continue to pose significant health risks in many rural areas. By introducing Biosand Water Filters, the foundation seeks to reduce the incidence of these diseases, thereby improving the overall health and well-being of the population.

The Biosand Water Filters are designed to be a sustainable and cost-effective solution, utilizing locally available materials for their construction. The filters work by filtering contaminated water through layers of sand and gravel, effectively removing harmful pathogens and particulates. This simple yet innovative technology has proven to be highly effective, providing a reliable source of clean water for households and communities.

In addition to the distribution of these filters, the CORAF Foundation has also focused on community education. Training sessions have been conducted to teach residents how to properly install, maintain, and use the Biosand Water Filters. This hands-on training is crucial to ensuring the long-term success of the project, as it empowers communities to take charge of their water purification needs and fosters a sense of ownership over the technology.

The impact of the Biosand Water Filters Project has been profound, with many communities reporting significant improvements in water quality and a reduction in waterborne illnesses. The CORAF Foundation remains dedicated to expanding this project to reach more areas, as part of its broader mission to enhance public health and promote sustainable development. Future plans include the scaling up of production and distribution, as well as continuous monitoring and support to ensure the filters' effectiveness.
