Biosand Filters
We learn to build them

Home

  Casting about for a way to make my travels more interesting and make myself more useful, I learned about an organization based in Olympia, one of whose board members I had worked with in Veterans for Peace. 

They have projects in a number of countries--primarily in Africa--which train local people to build inexpensive water filters for their homes and communities, and for re-sale.

I found that there was to be a training in June 2013, and I arranged to attend.  These pages are a product of those 6 days I spent with Friendly Water for the World
