Spotlights
My Kingdom for a Wrench
We visited a village called Trankite which was about an hour drive, including a river crossing, and an hour hike. When we got there we found someone had distributed biosand filters to at least three of the residents. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 were leaking from the pipe at the base and so the residents had stopped using them. I tried to tighten the fitting but did not have the tools. It reinforced the need to provide people in the community who can monitor and troubleshoot these interventions.
