Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to expand global access to low-cost clean water technologies and information about health and sanitation through knowledge-sharing, training, community-building, peacemaking, and sustainability. Our main focus is community training in the use and construction of BioSand filters - which provide sustainable clean water technology but also allow the formation of local filter building teams that become small micro businesses creating a sustainable source of the filters and clean water for the community.
BioSand Filter Construction - Community Training: we offer community training programs in the construction of BioSand Water Filters. Each training is geared towards training 20-35 individuals in the production and safe use of BioSandd filters. The trainings are generally 5-6 days in length and covers both filter construction, as well as health and sanitation training. Along with the hands on construction training, FWFW provides multiple reusable steel molds (for filter construction) as well as tools and materials needed to produce filters for all the training participants. These are provided at no cost to the participants for their continued use. In 2019 we offered trainings in India, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. In 2019 FWFW conducted over 20 community trainings.
Rainwater Catchment, Liquid Soap, Interlocking Brick Making, Rocket Stoves, Micro-flush Toilets, and Perma-garden training. These multi-technology trainings were provided throughout the year. We have branched out from our initial technology of the Biosand Filters, based on the growing need of the communities we work with.
BioSand Filter Card Fund program. This programs allows FWFW to place biosand filters in schools clinics and orphanages or with families struggling with HIV/AIDS. This programs is done in conjunctions with local filter building teams that have been previously training by FWFW. FWFW pays these local teams to build and install the filters where they are needed. Requests fro filters are sent to FWFW though these local teams.
