plan 155Promotion of Biosand Filter for Health

Summary

ANEPO AND TGGA intends to sensitize the community on safe and clean water to healthy family and also to help the community on having clean water through the use of simple technology BIOSAND FILTER which is affordable

Background

Water situation in our area is not safe and little have been done to educate the community. Many get water from shallow boreholes which are polluted causing frequent cholera cases.In some areas where ANEPO and TGGA are going to engage the water is pollute by emission of chemicals from Green houses and borehole is the only solution
So far in the areas which ANEPO and TGA are going to work on have no access to safe and clean water education programmes,
We have already issued questionnaires to the community.

    • Anna Anatoli of ANEPO

      Our action plan on this technology is as following after getting the mold; 1.To explain the community on the function of the BSF. 2. To test the water of the community so as to satistify the quality of water and this will make them understand why we need the BSF. 3. ANEPO will make the community understand the cost involved compared to ...

    Greetings Mama Africa!

    I see where you intend to use the grant to sensitize and educate both women and girls about the importance of clean water, with a focus on the Biosand Filter. Do you plan to make a BSF in a training workshop so they can see how it is made and how it works? Do you then hope to have the participants of the training go back and make a filter for their household?

    Is the technical cost you list of 30,000Tshs the cost of producing one BSF? Have you costed out the materials you will need? Can you provide that detail as part of the $1000 grant requested?

    Are you hoping to to the school rainwater harvesting with Raincatchers? Do you have a plan in place with them, and a timeline?

    I have been assigned to help you through this review process, so feel free to contact me if you have questions, or need help.

    All the best, Jan Hartsough for Crabgrass and AWWC

    • Anna Anatoli of ANEPO

      Yes Iintend to use the grant partly to make a sample of BSFduring the training so that the practical aspect plays a major role in the training and this will help them to remember and make their own when they go back. Yes the cost of BSF is Tsh 30000/= all materials are inclusive. Material cost: sand Tshs 6500/= cement Tshs 7450/= ...

    Hello Mama Africa,
    Sorry your daughter( Joan) and I couldn't really review your proposal on time...But we here now. Your team's proposal seems straight forward and simple, but has several components such as; water harvesting, planting trees , hygiene and water education yet the project according to the title seeks to promote the biosand filter. Can you please explain how all these activities are related to the biosand filter.

      Thanks for concern Joan. The relationship to these activities are when you are teaching BSF it will be important to understand why we should have BSF in the community which ofcourse will be due to poor quality of water.

      In schools where water harversting will be engaged ANEPO had in mind that this water want be safe to children to drink so BSF will also be an important technology. The tree plant issues will arise as a way to raise income in schools from sale of trees this will help to make more BSF in the concerned schools.

    Hello Mama Africa,

    In your submission, you mentioned that you intend to introduce water harvesting in schools. Anna and I would like to know if your project is combining the BSF and Rain water harvesting technologies. It sure will be a good idea especially if the problem you identified in your targetted school has both water quality and quantity dimensions. We hope the costings of both technologies have been adequately considered and intergrated. Best of luck.

    Olanike and Anna

    • Anna Anatoli of ANEPO

      Hello my beautiful daughters thanks for comment. Yes we are using both technology to schools as the harvested water want be suitable for drinking, so we have to use BSF to make safe for the children.BUT the cost of harvesting is not include in the $1000 grant as the Raincatcher from Nairobi have requested separate cost.

    We are almost out of time for any changes in the proposals. If it is possible, it would be good to add in the answers you have given to the various questions asked - for instance, adding the costs of biosand filter to the budget strengthens it, So does putting in your action plan details for the biosand filter training. It's my understanding that tomorrow is the deadline for making any changes to the proposal itself. I wish you much success in implementing both the BSF and the Raincatcher harvesting system in 2009. Happy New Year! Jan Hartsough

      Jan,
      How are you?.
      I am sorry iam late but to answer your worry the costs were limited according to your strictiness in your donations/funding, but actualy the budget is too tight and especially that the construction of the biosand filter is so expensive. ANEPO have 4 qoutations of mold which are ranging from Tshs 2.3 million -2.5million. We have gone to extent of approaching a Designing Corporation the cost is still high.This is equivalent to $ 1916.70 to 2083.30.
      Can we include in our proposals?
      Thanx

      ANEPO is introducing rain water to schools because of scarcity of supply of water. ANEPO is also introducing harvesting of water because these schools need this service for hygiene purpose,e.g toilets and drinking.

    • Mary Omble Wuya of OCEAN Foundation

      Absolutely you can, but I think the whole concept needs to highlight the biosand filter as key component of the project.
