#RequestForHelp #VideoRelease DetoXyFi
TL;DR: We are releasing video results of our production ready, natural, low-cost water filter for portable use by households, people affected by disasters, and more. These have been lab tested as well. Please help us reach the right people so that we can make this available for everyone that could benefit.
----------
Globally billions of people consume water from sources contaminated by faeces. Growing up, I too have faced the helplessness caused by the lack of availability of clean drinking water. This is a lived reality for people impacted by disasters. This is a lived reality for people because of their socio-economic status. This is a lived reality for billions.
Unfortunately, this is also a fatal reality for hundreds of thousands of children. Lack of access to clean drinking water is not a 'niche' problem affecting a few. This affects the world. This affects people in India. This affects people in Africa. This affects people in the United States. Lack of access to clean drinking water affects more people than you may think, and if we don't act with urgency we are endangering more than our children's lives. We are endangering our very own lived existence.
Historically, solutions have been made by the rich for the rich. We need more decentralised solutions that are built for the people, from materials of the people.
I therefore reach out to you for your help. For the past few years, we have surveyed households across multiple countries. We have harnessed nature's own technology— membranes present within waste wood— to build low cost water filters that work.
You will see below a video of a production-ready bag. You can fold it, ship it, use it, store it, keep it, benefit from it, and not spend too much on it. The speed of filtration depends on how bad the water is and how much water is filled. What you get at the end is clean water.
Please comment below if you can help, or connect us with anyone who may be able to help, or tag someone so that our collective voice can be amplified. In case you'd like to email, I'm at [email protected]. Please don't spam. Your responsible voice can help us reach those who are counting on our collective persistence. At the end, your voice is part of ours.
I am grateful and am counting on your support.
