Community Health Agent Training: Bruce, Helmi and Eric provided “Train the Trainer” training for Community Health Agents from the Safe Water Projects in South Sudan. The trainers help people understand water related illnesses, transmissions routes & barriers, how bio-filters purify water, and how investing in safe water is less expensive than current expenditures on medicine, and other water illness related costs.
