Clean safe water is an issue throughout Tanzania.
In Arusha, the water that finally makes it to the taps has 109 pathogenic bacteria in it, which will cause stomach upsets including typhoid and cholera.  And that’s if you’re lucky enough to have running water.  Most collect water from mud holes.
The filters are made locally in Arusha at The Safe Water Ceramics East Africa factory. The filter is made from a mix of sawdust, clay and colloidal silver, which is used for purifying the water.
