Project: Water Filters in Africa

We are planning to send low-cost, efficient water filters to small communities in Africa (and hope to go international in the future). Our goal is that the whole community will eventually have clean water. This would lower the large amount of deaths caused by water-borne diseases and deaths of HIV/AIDS victims who need clean water for their weak immune systems.
