of thirsty refugees in Western Sahara?
Benefits of PureLives:
PureLives is affordable and portable - it can be carried easily over long distances, as it is in the form of a backpack. It results in 99.9% clean water - which is a lot cleaner than the water the refugees of the Western Sahara drink, when they drink any at all. Anybody can use PureLives, because it is easy to operate. it does not require electricity, chemicals or mechanical parts to function, all of which many refugees cannot afford, so they can use PureLives. It can help to lower death rates in the area and will also help to stop the spread of waterborne diseases in the refugee camps.
Limitations of PureLives:
It does not completely cleanse water. with 0.1% chance of bacteria, or other harmful chemicals, remaining in the water. Some refugees may not be able to afford PureLives. If people can afford PureLives, then shipping rates may turn that around. If PureLives are not produced in Western Sahara, then shipping rates may be so high that the refugees will never be able to afford PureLives. So, either way, sponsorship must be used. But sponsorship requires a lot of investment, time and work.
It would work. There is no reason why it wouldn't.
If every family were provided with a PureLives, then the refugees of Western Sahara would all have access to clean water. They could be taught how to use it, then they could use it everyday to get clean water for their families.
If UNICEF could sponsor the shipping rates and other costs of PureLives for the refugees, then the people would finally get what they have needed their entire lives - clean, save water which won't kill them if they drink it.
Death rates would drop dramatically in the refugee camps of Western Sahara because people would stop dying from thirst and waterborne diseases. The population could rise again, and the refugees could earn their place in the city, get jobs and provide their families with their needs. Children would survive, they could get an education.
Clean and safe drinking water is a basic human necessity. Due to conflict, thousands have suffered in the dry areas of Western Sahara. PureLives is a simple invention that can help these people - to survive.
