"The most effective vaccine against child death in Africa
is a glass of clean water."
Please check out www.thewaterschool.org and www.sodis.ch for more information on this remarkable system, providing safe water through solar disinfection using ordinary plastic bottles, a hard surface and the free UV rays of the sun!
"Knowing that children are often agents of change, solar disinfection is typically implemented through schools. As children stop getting sick due to water borne diseases because they are consuming only purified water, the technology is transferred into their homes and adopted by the family. . .Within 35° latitude of the equator (the complete continent of Africa), the sun’s UV rays, a hard surface, and clear bottles are all that is needed to change filthy surface water from deadly and undrinkable to pure, safe, and life altering. Contaminated water is poured into clear plastic bottles and then left in the sun. Once one full sunny day or two full cloudy days has passed, the cleansed water is ready and safe to be consumed."
