Drinking water disinfection project- an 'incredible experience' teamkenya Jun 3

Having recently come back from Karibuni, where I was testing different ways of cost effective solar drinking water disinfection as part of Dissertation project for Newcastle University, I can honestly say that my time spent working on this project has been one of the most rewarding and incredible experiences of my life.. My project involved testing three different devices designed to treat drinking water on a household scale using concentrated sunlight, which used only affordable, readily available materials in their construction. I conducted several experiments to test the effectiveness of each device and undertook an investigation on the local water sources and their quality. Karibuni offered the perfect base from which to undertake my investigation, and Team Kenya were behind the project all the way, helping overcome the quite daunting task of travelling all the way to Kenya to carry out the tests and being supportive and enthusiastic at all stages of the process. I had never done anything like this before in my life, but any initial doubts I had were soon put at ease and I felt very safe at all times. The trip was a great success and I got to see what a truly amazing charity this was, and how effective their work is and what a huge influence it has on the local community. One day I hope to return with a device that I can leave behind and know I've made a lasting contribution to this great cause.Thanks to everybody at Team Kenya, keep up the good work! Simon
