Samaritan’s Purse BioSand Water Filter – How it Works

Samaritan’s Purse is enabling communities around the world to gain access to safe water through projects that provide BioSand Water Filters (BSFs) and hygiene training to families in need. See how the BSF works to de-contaminate water here.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

An estimated 842,000 people die each year from diseases caused by unclean water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene habits. The majority of these are children in developing countries. Providing clean water, coupled with health and hygiene education, is perhaps the most effective measure we can take in preventing infectious disease. Samaritan’s Purse works around the world to provide clean water and promote safe hygiene practices.
