Dear Government of Odisha & Odisha NGO's:
My name is Shivani Kumar and I live in Los Angeles. My team and I are
introducing a simple, eco-friendly, clean water technology in India, known as
BioSand Water Filters. We feel this training is in line with the community work
you are currently doing! I am hopeful you can help spread the word to your
networks.
Biosand
Water Filters are a concrete structure, about 4 ft high, filled inside with
fine sand and pebbles. Contaminated water is poured on top, and the water makes
it's way down through the sand and pebbles, and comes out the other end almost
pure drinking water!
The
Filter removes the following:
98%
of bacteria
100%
of viruses
95%
of iron
93%
arsenic
99%
protozoa, amoebas, metals, and worms.
It
removes contamination from rivers, lakes, wells, ponds, rainwater, etc.
The
Filter's capabilities:
Lasts
for 30 years
No
replacement parts required
Produces
300 liters per day
Serves
15 people per filter
Locally

Dramatic
reduction of illnesses/deaths in countries utilizing this technology
My
team from the U.S. and I will be conducting two training programs in India with
the goal being to train NGO leaders/staff so that they can spread this simple
technology in their regions. Our 2014 Trainings:
Rishikesh

I am attaching our training flyer (PDF version and WORD version) along with a

any help and support in this endeavor.
