Acceso al agua potable en todo un país

The Marshall Islands may be small in terms of land mass, but cover a massive area of the pacific ocean about half way between Hawaii and Australia. To say these islands are remote is an understatement. Traveling to these islands is difficult.

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

The Bucket Ministry believes locals can navigate the cultural and social subtleties of the project area better than someone from the United States. Consequently, 98% of people working on the Kiberian project are from Kibera.

IN IT FOR THE LONG RUN

In partnership with Hope College, The Bucket Ministry conducted a longitudinal study on the effectiveness of the Sawyer filter in an urban slum environment. Hope College studied the distribution of 10,000 filters to 10,000 families living in one of the largest slums in Africa: Kibera. 

‍

Of those 10,000 families, 52.7% presented with chronic diarrhea as a result of unclean drinking water. Three months following the distribution of these water filters to each family, that figure had shrunk to 2.2%. 

You can view the published study by Hope College here.

The Process 

  1. Assess- The process begins with a door-to-door census for each community and pathogen testing of the local water sources. This ensures that the Sawyer water filter is an appropriate solution for the area.
  2. Distribute- Once the true scope of clean water scarcity and the effectiveness of the Sawyer filter to treat it, a systematic distribution begins. ‍
  3. Follow up - The Bucket Ministry team visits every household at least three times to follow up. During these visits the team member ensures the daily maintenance is being performed correctly to achieve its long-term effectiveness.
