In Rwanda, access to clean drinking water is still a daily challenge for many, with nearly half the population unable to reach safe water within a short walk. At one school in Kigali, a simple filtration system is making a big difference. Tap water is purified through multiple filters and ultraviolet light, making it safe to drink straight away. This not only protects students’ health but also improves daily routines, removing the need to boil water. The system also helps cut down on plastic waste by encouraging reusable bottles. It’s a small but effective solution that shows how access to clean water can be improved in schools and communities.
