Tanzania Water Project – MSABI – Safe Water for Better Health Ifakara 2012-02-04 18:42:00

My name is Bruno Sanga I am working to one 0f MSABI project
known as pottery. I m a core subproject manager, the project is going on well.
We are producing the filter pots with the mixture of clay and rice husk and
water. We produce them by using two moulds, a female mould and a male mould,
also we use a workshop press with a jack of thirty tons. The filters take about
ten days to dry but this depending on air condition because sometime they dry
up to two weeks. After that we load them into the kiln then we fire, after
firing our lab technician takes them to the lab for testing. The results are
very interesting and filters are about 96% to 99% bacteria removal without
silver application. We are at the last point to improve the quality of the
filters. We expect to start the distribution of the filter pot in the mid of March
this year. From that time the solution of diseases related to water will be
found because these filter pots will help the communities living in rural areas
which never boiled or treated drinking water.
