Reported by Consolée UWIMANA, Story written by Margaret Coolman

Water project volunteers installed 3 SAM II filters in the Jarama sector. 3,000 people are expected to benefit from the installation of these filters.

Location:
Country: Rwanda
District: Ngoma
Sector: Jarama
Cell: Kigoma
Village: Kigoma
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.
