Rotary Weekly Bulletin
Catherine Hull and Kayley Szymanski, students from Duquesne University, provided us with an update at Pure Thirst.
Their Mission is to engage, empower, & educate the communities of Tanzania and Pittsburgh.
Pure Thirst has a partnership with Rotary, Duquesne University, & Spiritans.
They have recently begin a water project in Okakola which has a population of about 2000 people. They have raised money for the project thru the Global Grant and Crowd Funding. They have raised $4290 thru crowd funding.
The first phase of the project was adding new
water pipelines, replacing latrines, and educating
school kids. One of the next phases involves fluoride research. They have 2-3
times the normal amount of fluoride in their water
source which causes numerous health problems.
Pure Thirst is trying to come up with a filtration system to
reduce fluoride content.
