Distribution Of Water Filters

Community Based Facilitators (CBFs) received water filters donated by Christian Relief and Education in South Sudan (CRESS UK). These have enabled many of the CBFs families to drink clean water in the communities where water supplied is not 100% safe to drink.
It has therefore reduced the risks of water born disease outbreak in the communities.
