It's exciting to see the construction of the calabash tanks at the Chimaliro Health Centre in Malawi. They will soon hold thousands of litres of water for use in the facility's maternal ward
We keep #localising our water system and make it more sustainable 💪🏾🔥

As part of ongoing efforts to improve our SODIS water system, we have installed reusable water filters at both Thekerani and Chimvu. Now, neither algae nor sediment can pass through the filter. What's more, they are locally available!

Today, the team visited the Kanyezi Health Centre in Dedza to check the area where the new water system with a 100% Malawian-made calabash tank will be installed #localising

We are preparing for the construction of the first reactor to be built in #Malawi. The Irish team will travel to the health centre where the reactor will be installed. This is a significant step forward in #localising our SODIS system.

We're #localising, which means we're aiming to develop our water system right here in Malawi, using local skills and materials. We are looking at ways to adapt the technology so that it can be manufactured and repaired in Malawi or neighbouring African countries as required.

We are #localising our technology so that it can be produced and operated locally.
Why is this important?
This will reduce construction and maintenance costs, increase the potential for wider use in #Malawi and ensure the #sustainability of the technology beyond the project.
