Additional Information

Every year, 3.5million people (1.5million of those are children) die from inadequate access to clean drinking water and poor hygiene. The Water School Program combines sanitation and hygiene education with Solar Water Disinfection(SODIS) to combat this preventable cause of death. SODIS, is a simple technology that uses the sun to destroy disease-causing bacteria, viruses and parasites commonly found in untreated water,making it safe for human consumption. Once the program is implemented, recipients have both the knowledge and tools necessary to provide themselves with clean water for life!
