Hello,


We started Chatting six weeks ago as a way to stay connected to our friends around the world. Since then, much has changed in the world. Most of us have been physically distancing at home. And during that time we’ve gotten to better know our home, families, and our local community.


So, this week we are going to check-in and Chat with our global friends about their situation and how they and their community are faring. Join us to hear how people in Tanzania, Congo, Kenya, India, and other places are surviving the novel coronavirus, quarantine mandates, the challenges of daily life, and are using our technologies to stay resilient.

And thank you!


Thanks for attending our Chat about BioSand Water Filters. We were excited to have and hear participants from eight countries. We learned how to build this slow-sand filter and how they change the lives of people and communities. It's a great reminder that BioSand Water Filters:

  • Can remove 99.9% of all harmful pathogens

  • Cost less than $60

  • Are made with local resources

  • Can run for 30+ years with minimal maintenance

  • Produce up to 23 gallons / day

  • Provide enough clean water for a family of 10-15

Many thanks to our very own project manager, Wayne Medrud, for demonstrating a filter in action and putting together all the tools and steps you would need to build one yourself. If you'd like more information on filters or how you can help us make more, please drop us a line.
