Sharing is Caring
Reported by Chip Kragt, Story written by Amanda MulderDuring the month, one of our volunteers visited Pastor Venuste who had received a SAM3 Household Filter. Pastor Venuste lives next to a nursery school. He started sharing water from his filter with the 25 children who attend the school. The head of the school said that since they began to have clean water to share with their students, school attendance has increased from around 70% to 90%.
