New water filters from RTF for Kep villagers

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

New water filters from RTF for Kep villagers

Post by phuketrichard »

Went out this morning to distribute new water filter for some villagers in Kep from RTF.

This filters are very simply made in Phnom Penh and for a cost of less than $20 each, they were given free to 40 families who will now have free clean water>

You put the dirty water in the top and clean safe water comes out the bottom. Simple and easy to clean… No batteries, no electricity or moving parts to wear out.
They work by gravity flow. Particles are filtered out by the pot that has rice husk mixed into the clay before firing and gives it porosity. Colloidal silver is impregnated into the mix. The Colloidal silver kills bacteria, microbes and parasites

No more collecting fire wood to boil your water, no more buying water, just collect rain water or water from your well, pour it into the filter and ... Clean drinkable water> Takes about 1 hour to filter 1 lit of water!!!

This is only one of the projects that RTF does in Cambodia, ( they are the ones that donated the wheelchair for Andy) please visit their site to see how they help other less fortunate villagers, https://www.rescuetaskforce.org/
