- Safe drink water with Naiade
In developing countries safe drinking water is not available for all. Naiade cleans and disinfects water using sunlight. The Naiade easy-to-install water purification unit kills all pathogens and makes drinking water safe without the use of chemicals.
In developing countries poor water quality is the leading cause of health problems. Eighty percent of all illness in developing countries is caused by polluted water. It is estimated that two million people die from these illnesses every year. More info: http://www.safe-drinkingwater.com/safedrinkingwater.php

- Waterbronbescherming
Het beschermen van watebron in Afrika (waar dit kan) is het goedkoopste manier om de burgers in dorpen te voorzien van drinkschoonwater in Afrika. Bij een geconctreerde gebied kan een beschermde waterbron door meer dan 300 families gebruikt worden (ongeveer 1500 mensen). Voor het waterbeheer voor agrarische activiteiten heeft Stichting Samen in Actie Nederland ander systeem ontwikkeld waar het gebruikt water naar waterbassin (dams) wordt geleid. Dit water wordt gebruikt de lokale burgers rondom de beschermde waterbron voor eigen agrarische activiteiten vooral in droge seizoen. Meer info: www.stichtingsa.nl

- The Kisii Filter bucket
The Kisii Filter bucket has been developed in collaboration with the Rural Water Development (RWD) Project in Kisii, Western Kenya in 2003, as a response to the low quality of household waterand water from springs and wells in that area.
After introduction, it became clear that this low cost technology was very much appreciated also in Nairobi, where most people boil the water from the tap. The Kisii bucket has become increasingly popular, as well in the rural areas as in the towns were people have water from the tap and many NGOs are now also promoting this simple system. The specific idea of the “Kisii Filter Bucket” is to use low cost transparent PVC containers with a ceramic filter to compose a water filter system. More information: http://www.handpump.org/kisii/
