More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Rural families in thirsty Niger have no safe drinking water in their villages. Women must walk and fetch water. Water-related diseases and diarrhoea are prevalent. Families can have, at any rural household levels, simple effective water purification techniques, implemented via community training, by using natural available resources: sun, clay and the miracle moringa seeds. Moringa seeds remove bacteria and water turbidity.

Activities

Our programs are to train families about moringa seed properties to teach them how to produce safe drinking water from the river, fostering promotion of locally handmade natural clay pot filters.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Women and children are free of the burden of fetching water. Waterborne diseases are highly reduced. This innovation will greatly improve health and livelihoods of the 10 000 thirsty villagers along the river Niger.

Project Message

Why haven’t we learnt before how to produce our drinking water at home, just by using the natural available moringa seeds? No more daily survival struggle for a free drinking water access.
