“Emergency response aid provides relief for the immediate crisis, but in order to create resilient communities it is important to provide a long term solution. Ceramic water filters are an option that can achieve both immediate and long-term relief while providing an economic benefit to developing countries.”

“Locally-produced ceramic filters offer a low-cost, sustainable method of household water treatment in some circumstances in developing countries, where the burden of diarrheal disease deaths in children is high. The work of the SWAN network to increase access and scale of ceramic filters is commendable.”
