Excerpt:
Resource Development International – Cambodia (RDIC) has been making ceramic water filters in Cambodia since 2003. RDIC’s operation started at a small scale as it developed its manufacturing techniques and clay mix compositions. By September 2007 RDIC had distributed approximately 60,000 filters throughout Cambodia, and internationally, with 24,000 produced per year since 2007.
Ceramic water filters have proven to be tremendously effective in reducing the exposure of users to contaminated water, and the incidence diarrhoea over an extended period of time (Brown and Sobsey, 2006).
RDIC continues to invest significant time and energy into developing its processes and would like to share its knowledge and best practice approaches with organisations that wish to have a similarly positive impact on communities in developing countries.
