About this project

Project Blue is a zero-energy, water-filtration project located in Guinea, West Africa, that is designed to bring access to clean drinking water to 2.5 million people in the rural/developing regions of the country and to increase the status of women in the country. To have access to clean water, Guineans are harvesting wood from local forests and mangroves. This wood is burned to boil the water to make it safe to drink. Through this practice, carbon and other particulate matter are released into the environment. Project Blue seeks to eliminate the current carbon-emitting and deforestation practices through use of a gravity-fed, water filter that eliminates virtually all harmful bacteria. These highly-durable filters easy to use and have a long life span for repeated use, which will encourage adoption and also limit the environmental impact. Additionally, the country's women carry on the brunt of the activities associated with collecting and burning wood. Since the filtration project would largely eliminate the need for such activities, women are then freed to engage in activities that will improve their status, such as becoming educated or engaging in other gainful activities. Indeed, because of social dynamics within the locales where the project will take place, it is anticipated that women will comprise the overwhelming majority of the workforce that handles the distribution and administration of the filtration project.
