BushProof organises regular 5-day training courses in bio-sand filtration (BSF) . The aim of the course is to fully prepare participants to start successful bio-sand filter projects in their own areas. The training is usually held in central Kenya on the site of a successful ongoing BSF project, or on-site in any other country.

More information about Bushproof trainings and application forms can be found here.

Filters and moulds

Suitable for use at household level, the bio-sand filter produces safe drinking water from biologically contaminated water, such as from open wells and rivers. The potential for this technology is enormous: 1.1 billion people lack access to safe water – yet all drink something everyday. In most cases, a bio-sand filter dramatically improves the quality of their contaminated water. This prevents disease, saves lives and reduces poverty.

Promoted by many humanitarian aid organizations, over 100,000 concrete bio-sand filters are already in use throughout the developing world.

Field studies have proved that the filters continue to produce clean water for many years after installation. For more information on the bio-sand filter, please visit our information resource website www.biosandfilter.org.
