Today our water treatment workshop at Eldoret Kids in Eldoret, Kenya came to an end.
Sixteen out of twenty participants received a certificate and a T-shirt after attending all five days and proving that they are able to treat water with sodium hypochlorite.
Each group received a water treatment kit to take home. They will now treat water at the public taps in their village for the residents. To do this, everyone who fills their canister with water is injected with a few millilitres of sodium hypochlorite. After half an hour, the water is disinfected.
Yesterday, we started the workshop "Water Treatment" at Eldoret Kids in Kenya.

This will eliminate the need for firewood and charcoal to boil water.
Our two-day WASH seminar started today. It is being held at BMC in Eldoret and will cover the basics of water management, sanitation and hygiene. This includes water-related and water-borne diseases and how to avoid them.
