One of the greatest challenges in most parts of Kenya is to have a clean, safe and sustainable water source.   While returning home to the center from the US last month, Anderson carried 10 solar water purification devices that were purchased by a sponsor donation. The device is made by Puralytic and consists of a solar device within a durable plastic bag that, when exposed to the sun, purifies 1 litre of water a day. While the center provides both well water and rain water to the widows, these bags allow the widows to also safely purify local pond water. Without these bags, the water is normally treated by boiling and the use of chemicals.  Anderson presented solar bags to eight of the widows, provided them a training session, and is participating in a study by Puralytics that analyzes the bags ease of use. The bags are expected to last one year.
