Partner & Sponsor
In honor of E-S 20th birthday Enviro-Stewards has sponsored the installation of 20 bio-sand filters in Uganda.
Enviro-Stewards began the Safe Water Project in 2004 as a way to empower communities to sustainably provide safe water and change lives.
The project focuses on providing training, tools, and mentoring to equip teams to provide safe water to their communities. To accomplish this goal, we work with grassroots groups to build local capacity, provide meaningful employment, and to empower these communities to help their neighbours to do the same.
Development, Not Relief
Safe Water Project create viable long-term solutions for communities. Projects are about prevention, not relief. Each project is developed using sustainable technology (biosand filters) that do not require energy or chemicals to operate, are easy to maintain, and can be constructed with locally available materials.
When the biosand filters are installed, they help to develop struggling communities by:
Creating local jobs through the construction and maintenance of the filtration systems.
Building a local economy through the purchasing of the water.
Providing a clean, healthy source of potable water.
