2 Community Filters Installed in Kagogo

Reported by Consolée UWIMANA, Story written by Margaret Coolman

Water project volunteers have installed 2 SAM II filters in the Kagogo sector, with 2,000 people expected to benefit from the filters.

Location:
Country: Rwanda
District: Burera
Sector: Kagogo
Cell: Kabaya
Village: Rukenke
Solution:
SAM2 (Sand And Membrane) filters are large capacity solutions with a 10-year-plus lifespan. A SAM2 requires no electricity or fuel and has no moving parts, making it the ideal solution for rural areas. Schools and Health Clinics are trained how to use and maintain the filter, empowering them to be self-sufficient and address their own needs.
