Clay-pot Filters Secure Safe Water
A Canberra-based not-for-profit humanitarian organisation has successfully completed the research and development of a unique water filter at their pottery training compound in Vientiane, Laos.
The filters, created by Abundant Water, are now being introduced to households in remote villages by trained village educators.
Abundant Water, a volunteer organisation started by local engineer Sunny Forsyth, has been working with Lao communities for three years to introduce low-cost programs enabling anyone anywhere to access clay-pot water filter technology if they need clean drinking water free from water-borne diseases.
On Thursday 14th July, Abundant Water and ACTEW celebrated a sponsorship between the two organisations, which will secure the wages for the Lao employees working in the compound and the villages.
