Does anyone on #WaSHtwitter know where to find data on basic water and sanitation access going back to 1990? Everything I can find from @UNICEF @WorldBankWater @WorldBank @JMPWASH @WHO only starts in 2000…

A lot goes into bringing #SafeWater to the people! Here’s our local staff at the @ProjecTEMBO guesthouse, hard at work to prepare our #water filters for delivery to 50+ women in Longido, #Tanzania as part of pur research program led by @BasuOnita and @RobbieVenis #MajiSalaama

#SafeWater access shouldn't come at the cost of changing your life - it should blend in naturally, and fit into the way you want to live. That's what it means to be a #HumanRight

One of the biggest challenges to filter longevity is breakage. This program participant taking that extra step to protect her filter is great to see!

Change can be hard, especially when it comes to adopting new habits. This is why we're meeting with participants week after week - to help them in any way they need to realize improved #health

Another nice day for a #lesson on #WaSH in #Longido. This week, we're talking about #filter care and #cleaning!

[Water Education Research (WatER) @WatERCarleton]

After providing new #filters to this #school, they now have enough #safe #water to send their students home with filled water bottles, ensuring #children have #clean water 24/7

[Water Education Research (WatER) @WatERCarleton]

Filters use #silver to help kill bacteria, but does #water #quality impact its performance? As part of our new #study to be published soon, we learn that yes, it does. So what does that mean for applications in the field?
