Water School empowers communities through a 3-Step program, which integrates sanitation and hygiene education with a simple and sustainable water treatment technology called Solar Disinfection (SODIS). With this process, water from the local supply is placed in clear plastic bottles and set in the sun where ultraviolet rays disinfect the water. Hours later, that dirty water is now clean and safe to drink. It’s that simple. Water School goes beyond SODIS and works with schools to teach students sanitation & hygiene basics such as hand-washing and the importance of using latrines. This life changing information ensures children and their families have the knowledge they need to prevent disease, stay healthy and access clean water for life! Learn more at www.waterschool.com

FogQuest is an innovative, international, non-governmental, non-profit organization. It is a registered charity in Canada. Our water projects are for small rural communities in the most arid parts of the world. Even in locations with little or no rain, there are often fog-covered hills that can be a source of clean water for the people. We work with the communities and local NGOs to develop projects that are appropriate to the environment, and the culture and religion of the people. The large fog collectors require no energy source. The fog droplets are carried to the mesh of the collectors by the wind. The water that is produced flows by gravity to the community. Because fog, and rain when it occurs, are almost entirely free of harmful bacteria, the fog collection system is also a good alternative in places where the ground water supply is contaminated. Twenty large fog collectors can provide water for a village of 200 people. The cost is low, only about $1 for 1000 liters of water.
