40 Families Receive BioSand Water Filters in Diocese of Siliguri

On 17th June 2016, Believers Church Diocese of Siliguri distributed BioSand Water Filters to 40 poor and needy families hailing from an extremely remote village.

These families are dependent on farming and animal husbandry for their livelihood. They were drinking unfiltered or untreated water which often put them at risk of contracting water-borne illnesses. On one hand they could not afford a water filter, and on the other hand they were also ignorant about the importance of drinking clean filtered water.

To provide them access to potable water and protect them from illnesses, the diocese distributed BioSand Water Filters to them freely. The families received the filters with much joy and expressed their gratefulness to the church for taking the effort to make clean water available to them.
