Sawyer Filters Save Rural Families in Fiji over $600/year

With the help of Sawyer filters, Fiji will become one of the first nations with a border to border clean water solution. Sawyer filters will bring clean water to the nearly 50% of the population that does not have access to a treated water supply. Many of these communities rely on contaminated wells or rivers for their water supply. GIS (geographic information system) software is currently tracking the implementation of 100,000 Sawyer filters and the results for the following will be submitted for publication in journals and be featured in clean water conferences around the world:

Diarrhea reduction
Work and school days recaptured associated with waterborne sickness
Purchased water savings and medical savings associated with waterborne sickness

ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

More than 20,000 villagers in Naitasiri will now have access to sustainable clean drinking water. This follows the launch of the Give Clean Water Naitasiri project last week at Vunidawa.

The project will cater for 91 villages. Manager for Give Clean Water Fiji Trust David Reddy said since 2008 the company had been giving out Sawyer Point One clean water filters to selected rural villages in Fiji.

“The Sawyer Point One filter bucket removes 99.99999 per cent of bacteria and rated to 0.1 micron absolute filtration.

“We have started our pilot project in Nabena Village, and from next week we would start our regular installation with the Ministry of Health and will train some of their team.

“We are hoping for a one-year project but the major factor is the weather and it also depends on the timing and funding.

“After Naitasiri we will decide where to go to and which places to support and mostly we working on areas where there is no clean water and we know it’s mostly the interiors of Fiji.

“We have covered the province of Namosi, Serua, Beqa Island, Yanuca, Navosa, and also in Vanua Levu and other places in the west as well.”
