With the help of Sawyer filters, Liberia will be the first developing country with clean water, border to border, in every household by December of 2020. Sawyer filters will bring clean water to the last 20% of rural Liberia that everyone said was impossible to reach.
THE STUDY: Independent, U.S.-based scientific research teams from CalvinCollege are collecting and processing data from GIS (geographic informationsystem) software. Currently, they are tracking the implementation of 100,000 Sawyer filters placed throughout Liberia. The results will be submitted for peer review and scientific publication in the American Journal of TropicalMedicine and Hygiene.
Measurements include:
• Diarrhea reduction
• Work and school days recaptured associated with waterborne sickness
• Purchased water savings and medical savings associated with waterborne sickness
