ROTARY CLUB INTERNATIONAL has provided families in the commune with their first home water filters. The water filters are composed of a white heavy duty plastic outer shell and a ceramic inner shell that actually filters the water placed in it.
RDI FILTER POTS
Resource Development International (RDI) provides the water filter pots for a fee that the clinic provides to families. The ceramic inner shell lasts approximately two years with proper care. Cleaning the ceramic inner shell ongoing is an important function for the filter for the use of it. Proper care and usage will be under the guidance of the Home Health Aid to be hired by the Foundation.
The Cambodia Medical Clinic issues the water filters. It also trains family to care for them. Replacement of ceramic inserts through breakage or wear will also be provided by the clinic.
As resources are available, filters will be made available to other communes without clean drinking water.
