Volunteers Visit 46 Families in Gashora

Reported by Rebero Jean d'Amour, Story written by Amanda Mulder

Water Project volunteers visited 46 families in Gashora during the month of November 2019 with SAM3 Household Filters. During their visits, they assisted families with maintaining filters and reinforced health and hygiene training. Volunteers did not find any major issues with filters that needed to be addressed.
