SODIS Application

CleanPET Bottles

Fill Bottlespartly to 3/4

Aerate the Waterthrough Shaking

Fill Bottlescompletely

Expose Bottlesto Sunlight

Exposure on Roofsare adequate

Expose the Bottlesfor 6 Hours

Drink the Waterfrom the Bottles

How does SODIS work ?

• plastic bottles are filled with contaminated waterand exposed to sunlight for 6 hours

• sunlight disinfects the water through two effects:

- radiation in the UV-A spectrum- increase of water temperature

• water temperature can riseto 50 0C and more

• Faecal coliforms are reduced by 3 - 4 log (99.9 % reduction)

• Informal settlement• 7 km SW of Nairobi City Centre• 700,000 inhabitants• 235 hectares

SODIS Project Kibera Slum, NairobiHealth Impact Study

Monitoring:• 500 households

(selected at random in anarea with 20’000 households)

• 717 children(below 5 years)

SODIS: a self-promoting technology ? No !

the problem:how can the SODIS idea reach the people ?

Promotion and Implementation

the reality:people need information for which they cannot paythe approach:promotion of SODIS through non-profit organisations(NGOs, Aid Agencies, Governments)

SODIS is a “zero cost technology”

this is along-termprocess

SODIS promotion requires• awareness building on health issues• change of habits in water handling

Successful Partnership

Ministry of Healthstrong will for cooperation

Women‘s organisationtrust in the communities

Teachers and studentsenthusiasm about SODIS

People’s interestin water treatment

SODIS Worldwide Used• in more than 20 countries• by more than 2 million people

- new strategies

• Meeting the MDG requires

- new technologies

The Millennium Development Goal (MDG)

• half the number of people not having access to safe water by 2015

• means to provide safe water to approx.1 million additional people every week

household centred approaches

appropriate water treatment

Scaling-up for increased inputs We need- additional partners- additional projects- additional funds
