When you eliminate waterborne disease from a village you empower that village in more ways than you can imagine.
- Recent studies have shown Sawyer filters eliminate up to 85% of all diarrhea disease within the community just weeks after implementation.
- The filter pays for itself within a year with money that would have been spent on medical bills or fuel/wood to boil water.
- Income that was spent on medical bills for preventable diseases is now spent on food and other essential items.
- Men and women are healthy enough to work and earn a living.
- Parents don’t have to stay home from work and tend to their sick children.
- Children can attend school and get an education
