Happy Friday!
Today we would like to share some photos of Sawyer filters in action in Zimbabwe.
An organization called Rutendo Zimbabwe placed eight filters into two schools. This organization is dedicated to helping provide access to clean water and education to the people of Mapanzure, Zimbabwe.

Tasting clean water!
A primary purpose of implementing Sawyer filters in these schools is to reduce the number of absences due to water-borne illnesses. Access to clean water improves students health, reduces the # of days absent from school, which ultimately leads to a better education and a brighter future!
