About this project

Evidence Action plans to install up to 33,000 chlorine dispensers over the next years in rural Uganda.Chlorine Dispenser SystemThe Chlorine Dispenser System consists of the dispenser hardware, community education, and a regular supply of chlorine. The plastic dispenser is fitted with a valve which consistently delivers a precise 3 ml dose of chlorine (sodium hypochlorite solution). To use the dispenser, community members go to their water source, place their bucket or jerrican under the dispenser, turn the valve to dispense the correct amount of chlorine, and then fill the bucket as they normally would with water from the source. Evidence Action educates the community about the dangers of contaminated water and how to use the dispenser to treat their water. A community member is elected to be the dispenser ‘promoter’, who encourages use of the dispenser, reports any problems, and refills the dispenser with chlorine. Usage and functionality of all dispensers will be closely monitored by Evidence Action.
