Access to clean water is a basic human right. We need to find ways to make it more affordable and accessible for every community.
Distribute locally-manufactured ceramic pot filters that cost under $10 and last 2-3 years. These filters remove 99.9% of bacteria and are already used successfully across Southeast Asia and Central America. Pair with a community education program on maintenance.
Provide subsidies and free installation for rooftop rainwater collection systems. Harvested water can be used for irrigation and, with simple treatment, for non-potable household use. Reduces demand on the municipal supply and lowers water bills.
