UPDATE FROM THE FIELD:

“We had a very eventful day. We delivered filters out to villages, and schools. When I say villages, that is out under a tree. This is usually a gathering point for the area. At these places the villages will build one of their traditional reed and stick houses around the filter, to protect it and make it available to all who pass by.

While we were leaving the last place for the day a girl, with what appeared to be cholera, was loaded into one of our vehicles and delivered to the nearest med aid station.

The people are eager to use these filters, they know they have a problem and there has been no reasonable way to help them…” Del Livingston, from Kenya
