Challenge
Access to clean drinking water is a major issue in low-resource settings. Traditional steel molds for creating BioSand filters are costly and often inaccessible to local NGOs and communities that need them.
Description
The Wood Mold for BioSand Filters is a reusable, low-cost alternative to steel molds. Each mold can produce 50-60 filters, depending on the type of wood and maintenance. It has been effectively manufactured and operated in off-grid locations, significantly lowering the barrier for clean water access.
Outcomes
1250 lives impacted, Over 1200 people gained access to clean drinking water.
