Water Filters in Kenya

From: St.Theresas.bigginhill RC Parish [mailto:st.theresas.bigginhill@btconnect.com] Sent: 17 September 2015 13:49 To: infoserv Subject: Water Filter using sand,gravel and charcoal

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the Parish Secretary of a small RC Church and your address has been forwarded to me by CAFOD. I wonder if you can help us...?

We have enjoyed the presence and company of a Kenyan Catholic Priest for the past 7 weeks, whilst our Parish Priest has taken a holiday. During this time we have talked of many things, amongst which was my interest in giving water to those in our world who have little or none. Several conversations later, and we as a parish plan to pay for the construction of a borehole and water pump in Father Alex's village. Coincidentally, CAFOD are re-introducing their water filter appeal just at this time, which put into the mind of Father, our Parish Priest, that whilst the arrangements are made for the proposed new water well some water filters may be extremely useful in Father Alex's village, but also in the surrounding villages. I have written to CAFOD asking if it would be possible to purchase some of these water filter kits to post on to Father Alex in Kenya. Unfortunately CAFOD can't supply a kit form since the filters are built using local equipment.

I wonder if you could give us any advice or help in this project? We would like to organise and set up some water filters in Father Alex's village, and possible 13 (yes 13!!) surrounding villages that form Father's parish in Kenya, in the interim before the water well is constructed and running.

May I leave these thoughts with you to consider and "mull over" and respectfully look out for a reply sometime soon?

With many thanks for your time,

Yours faithfully,
