BioSand Filters Give Clean Water to Assam Community

On 24th April 2013, Believers Church Dhemaji Diocese distributed BioSand water filters to a community. Forty people gathered for the distribution event.

Villagers in this place previously used contaminated water directly from a tube well. Ranjan, a member of the BioSand department, explained how the BioSand filters would purify their drinking water.

“To get clean water in our village is very hard,” said a villager named Bidya, “because everywhere we dig the well or hand pump, the water is full of arsenic and it even gives a bad smell. I have personally seen this BioSand filter in some other house and wanted one because it gives clean water.” Bidya and the other community members were grateful to Believers Church for providing such a great help to their families.

Believers Church provides clean water to thousands of people through the BioSand water filter project.
