Sithad and his group, along with other villagers, participated in a village meeting that discussed the cost of safe drinking water.
In the meeting, they discussed the costs of treating local water supplies. Charcoal, firewood, and even bottled water were considered and priced out over 4 years. Similarly, the cost of medical care for water-borne disease was discussed.
The water filter Sithad and his group purchased is guaranteed for 4 years but is known to function for up to 5 years. Sithad was excited to learn the filter was available on an affordable payment plan.
Sithad and his group recognized the substantial financial savings the water filter will have for them and their families, as well as the impact safe water will have on their health.
