Biosand Filters and Brick tanks: A water solution in Gomba, Uganda

Children run and play during recess. Joy and Grace Primary School is a recipient of one of the Biosand Filters and it has made a tremendous impact on the students, the teachers, and the faculty.

Cases of diarrhea have decreased and more children are able to attend school more consistently. Before the school boiled water for the children everyday. This meant they had to buy firewood, which directly led to the deforestation of their land and increased risks of diseases caused by smoke.
