About this project

The Aqua Clara Safe water Program hereinafter referred to as the ‘project activity’, is a program that seeks to distribute point of use water filters to households within 32 Counties in the Republic of Kenya. The project has been developed by Aqua Clara Foundation. The filters technology comprises of the BioSand Filter (BSF) and Hollow fiber filters (HFF) for both household and institutional use. By using the water filters, the project displaces the use of firewood fuel traditionally used to boil water for consumption and in the alternative offer a cost effective, sustainable, easy-to-use, and accessible solution to water treatment especially among households and institutions that consume unsafe raw water. Additionally, the project activity will actively reduce CO2 emissions and associated Indoor Air pollution (IAP) associated illnesses among the benefitting households. Increased access to consumption of safe water will also significantly contribute towards reduced incidences of waterborne diseases. The proposed project activity will distribute and install at least 500 BioSand Filters (BSF), 77,500 Household Hollow Fibre filters (HHHF) and 1,330 Institutional Hollow fiber filters (IHFF) within the targeted 32 counties in Kenya. By the time of this submission, the project has distributed 1,054 Household Hollow Fiber Filters and 50 Institutional Hollow Fiber Filters within the 32 counties.
