PROFOH Plan To Purchase Drinkable Book For Distribution Next Year

Our organization is a member of Water Mandate Group of the United Nations and has executed some safe drinking water in several communities in Africa. We have indicated interest to purchase drinkable book for distribution next year.

The Drinkable Book is both a water filter and an instruction manual for how and why to clean drinking water. The patent of the technology is pending. It works to produce potable water. Dirty water is poured through a thick, sturdy  sheet of paper embedded with silver nano particles (a.k.a. pAge drinking paper), which are lethal for microbes.

This paper was created and shown to be highly antibacterial during Theresa’s Ph.D. at McGill University. Additionally, these filters meet US EPA guidelines for bacteria removal to produce safe drinking water. The filters can last a couple of weeks, even up to a month, so the entire books could provide the tools to filter clean water for about a year. While at the  University of Virginia for her post doctorate, Theresa and a team of students tested these filter papers with water sources in South Africa. The filter papers have been successfully used in field trials in Ghana, Haiti, and Kenya. Hopefully soon, pAge water filters will supply cheap clean drinking water for many people in the developing world.

PROFOH has contacted WATER is Life on possible partnership in some countries. With your help, we can distribute the books as part of our organization’s integrated water, sanitation and hygiene program to save lives and transform communities. The Drinkable Book The book can provide a user with clean water for up to four years.
