  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: A simple bottle bulb, usually a litre soda bottle is filled with a solution of purified water and bleach. The bottle is inserted halfway through a hole drilled in the metal roof and its sides are sealed tightly with plasticine. This will look like a bulb through a sunroof and provides a good amount of light by diffracting sunlight into the classroom and gloomy interiors.<br />

  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: A group of the Adventure pride Centre pupils demonstrate the process of making the water bottle bulb. One of these "do-it-yourself" lights takes maybe an hour to install. Cutting an appropriate hole, inserting a bleached-water-filled bottle, and resealing around the resulting gap. Even where clean water is rare, a little can generally be spared for almost a decade of lighting. In addition, bleach is added to the water to avoid contamination of the water thus making it last and shine longer.<br />

  • "When these filters came to us to address the contaminated water issue, with it came environmental solutions too. Using firewood everyday to provide water for a school with 260 pupils is not sustainable at all. Biosand filters are a very sustainable solution. Gomba does not have forests and the trees we have, the people usually cut to get firewood and charcoal. The schools are a big consumer of firewood and so having the Biosand filters eliminates that need and helps us keep our trees. There have been frequent droughts recently which was not common in the past. If we preserve the trees, our environment wins."  <br />

  • "I was the only girl in my family and I felt my dad cared for the boys more. My school fee was prioritized last and so I couldn’t go to high school until my cousin offered to sponsor me. She died in 2005 in a car accident and so not only was I profoundly sad but my hope to go to college was dimmed. I wanted to be a civil engineer and build things. Back then my father and seven brothers wanted me to get married immediately after high school. But I wanted to go to college and so my mother sold off the only piece of land she had and I was able to afford tuition for college where I got my diploma in civil engineering. I majored in brick laying and we came up with a way of making curved bricks from locally sourced materials. My work experience with different community organizations in East Africa exposed me to Biosand Filter technology and I learned how to make the filters.These skills have helped us come up with solutions in my community and communities like mine. With the grant Global Greengrants, we had the resources to train women on how to make curved bricks and we had materials to construct tanks in schools so children stay in school and do not have to walk long distances in search of water.

  • "I got married at 25 years and had two wonderful sons, Rayan Kato who is 10 years and Rashid Kato who is 8 years. The marriage was good for a while but later on, my husband kicked me out saying I was illiterate and uneducated because I couldn’t speak English. But speaking English is not a measure of my intelligence. I was reserved, shy and my self esteem was very low. When I left, my skills were limited to farming and with my small farm, I had to struggle to feed and educate my children by selling surpluses. To supplement my income from the farm, I would cut and burn trees for charcoal then sell it. The contaminated water here in Gomba meant that I had to frequently take my children to hospital due to bouts of diarrhea and typhoid. The training from Uganda Women's Water Initiative has taught us skills that have helped us get access to clean water and my children's health has improved. We learnt how to construct Biosand filters, brick tanks and now we are learning how to make soap. I am very good at these tasks which has made me very confident and now I take the lead in training the women here. I have grown so much in the last two years. No one knew me here as I was very quiet and reserved. Now, I have new skills that I gladly teach all that are willing to learn. My children are in better schools as I can make more income. More so, being a woman counselor means I get to sit in the local government committees and deliberate on issues affecting the people of Gomba. I can campaign for reduced deforestation in the area, provision of resources for safe drinking water solutions and diversifying skills to encourage entrepreneurship. More people now turn up for training on sanitation and health including men. It is very encouraging to feel their support." Betty Birungi, Uganda Women's Water Initiative, Gomba.<br />

Using firewood everyday to provide water for a school with 260 pupils is not sustainable at all. Biosand filters are a very sustainable solution. Gomba does not have forests and the trees we have, the people usually cut to get firewood and charcoal. The schools are a big consumer of firewood and so having the Biosand filters eliminates that need and helps us keep our trees. There have been frequent droughts recently which was not common in the past. If we preserve the trees, our environment wins."  <br />
