Description Program Srvc AccomBright Water Foundation continues its efforts to deliver clean water education with the goal of eliminating water borne illnesses. Each project begins with an initial survey of community illness data, water source quality, and community and home storage behavior. Local safe water educators and volunteers test all community and selected household water supplies for water borne diseases. Simple inexpensive methods test for coliform bacteria, germs that make one sick. Safe water educators repeat household water tests and follow-up surveys, reinforcing house-hold practices on the need to consistently treat and safely store drinking water. The community takes ownership for their own clean water. Bright Water Foundation continues promoting family health and self reliance. Within six months we had trained 4,000 villagers how to test, treat, and store their water. 84% of the surveyed families now treat their water regularly and there is a 47% reduction in diarrhea due to clean water.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
