What is a BioSand filter?
These filters purify drinking water right in a family’s home, removing up to 98% of the pathogens in water. SOHIP (Seeds of Hope International Partnerships) is manufacturing and installing BioSand filters from our resource center in Zambia. Through partnerships with other organizations, we are targeting areas in deep need for the benefits that these filters bring. We are partnering with CAWST - Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology, and Blood:Water Mission on this project. For just a few dollars, families can have the ability to clean their drinking water year after year. This is an amazing technology to be able to bring to impoverished communities.For more detailed information on BioSand filters, including their components, construction and dimensions, visit A Layman's Guide to Clean Water.
