BioSand Water Filters work!

After 70% of the residents in the Bomet Region of Kenya were able to access BioSand Water Filters, and combined with local community sanitation efforts, dysentery cases in the local hospital declined by 85%.

BioSand Water Filters provide affordable business opportunities

Filters are inexpensive, durable, and made of locally available materials (sand, gravel, and cement). A Filter that provides clean water for a family costs approximately $50 and will work for up to 30 years with almost no maintenance needed. Fabricating and installing BioSand Water Filters is a proven local micro-business that can and does create local jobs and generates needed income. We help people help themselves.

Friendly Water for the World supports local communities

We currently have projects in Kenya, Burundi, India, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Uganda, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Honduras, and we are expanding.
