WATER DEFLUORIDATION

In rift valley province Fluorosis disease has affected many people living there. It mostly affects the teeth during it's formation stages in childhood. In Nakuru district, the Catholic diocese has a water project that uses bonechor to deflouridate water to help prevent teeth/ dental flourosis in the region.
A large amount of fluorine in water also causes skeletal fluorosis which is a disease that couses bone outgrowth that makes one have difficulty in walking. 
Catholic diocese in Nakuru carries out capain to increase awareness of the use of bonechar to help families prevent fluorosis. In my course project I was inspired by the project and together with my friends we combined boneechar slow sand process to make a water filters for small families.
The Catholic diocese of Nakuru has workers who are dedicated to promote the project and are free to give anyone advice on how to implement the defluorination project. They have also built community filters for people who are affected with the disease and are not able to buy their own filter. Hence the organization is changing the status of the people by promoting clean and safe water usage in the community.
