Clean Water Project

Clean water is life giving and life saving, especially for the vulnerable in rural Swaziland. Servant Forge Fellows are working in Swaziland in tandem with the Swaziland HIV/AIDS Faith-Based Initiative and several other partners to provide clean water for health clinics and communities.

Although the wells and pipes provide clean water, this water often ends up in dirty or contaminated containers to be transported from the water source to the homestead, and thus the benefits of clean, bacteria-free water are lost.

With a simple intervention, Servant Forge can ensure that the user's water remains clean and safe for drinking and use. A simple chlorine dispenser setup at the water source can be used to provide single doses of chlorine into each user's water container, ensuring that the container, and the water, are disinfected for up to 24 hours. This simple technology has been proven to work where communities have been trained to use them and understand their importance, with positive health outcomes for the children and families using the water.

A chlorine dispenser can be built and installed for $100. One chlorine dispenser contains 1,000 doses of chlorine and provides for 20,000 liters of clean water. Your $100 donation towards the installation of one of these dispensers at a water site in Swaziland will help to ensure that generations of Swazis have access to clean and health life-giving water.
