Purifier at St. Ignatius High School & St. Ignatius Church, India

Background

At St. Ignatius School the last four months there were a significant number of absences among the school's students due to colds, coughs and diarrhea. During this period, the number of children who became sick at the school was
alarmingly high. Many children are prone to waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid, jaundice, dysentery, etc. With regard to this high incidence of disease, parents and teachers were suspicious of the water from the school well from the beginning. It was concluded that the main cause of the disease was due to the supply of unprotected drinking water.
