Safe Drinking Water for 80,000 Children in Bolivia

Safe Water at school

A girl is showing a bottle with safe drinking water. Her family treats the water in small bottles at home, which are easy to carry to school. In this way, safe water is always at hand, even on the way to school - which often is a long walking distance.

Making safe drinking water at schools

Common plastic (PET) bottles are exposed to sunlight. The strong radiation helps to disinfect the water quickly, which then is consumed at school. The method is simple and scientifically proven. Children appreciate the natural taste of the water and actively participate in the treatment process.

Parade on International Hand Washing Day

Project schools participated in public events on October 15 to celebrate the International Hand Washing Day. School kids and teachers proudly displayed posters, street theaters and participated in poetry contests.

Mobile hand washing unit

The mobile hand washing units were a big success with the local population. They are easy to build, making use of old PET bottles which can not be used any longer for SODIS.
