Sawyer filters

Sawyer filters are designed to purify water. Im told that they use the same technology as a kidney dialysis machine. We put them to the test on a recent trip to the Rift Valley. The team of 25 college kids had planned to use bottled water purchased at the grocery store but we went through about half of it the first day. We filtered water from this catchment dam and made it through the next 4 days with no problems. The sawyer filters are amazing, light weight, portable and easy to demonstrate. This community now has 4 of these filters and they are seeing the benefits of clean drinking water.
