NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 29...The bucket Ministry initiative aims to give access to clean drinking water to kibera residents through distribution of 81,777 water filters granting 408,478 residents in informal settlement.

The initiative aims to help Kibera Slum as life characterized by poverty, Overcrowding and inadequate access to basic services with the slum lacking running water, permanent electricity, no social services and only 78 public latrines.

"We are amazed by the unprecedented impact our work has had in the community, when commencing the project a case study hightligheted 52 percent of diarrhea cases, after distribution of water filters cases have reduced to 2 percent", said  Christopher Beth, founder, Chief storyteller and Director The Bucket Ministry.

In addition The Bucket Ministry partners with indegenous leaders and pastors to distribute Sawyer PointONE filters connected to buckets which provide up to 20-plus year of clean, safe drinking water.

"We took water filtered from the filter by the ministry to National Public Health Laboratories for analysis and it ascertained that the water was safe for human consumption", stated Stephen Otieno, Public Health Office Langata.

Furthermore, the Ministry equips each  filter with a unique waterproof barcode to track its distribution, follow up and disciplineship efforts using a proprietary system called mission mapping.

"The simple demographic information we receive allows us to not only monitor the physical and spiritual health of our filter recipients but also provide partners  with detail of our generosity is making difference", added Beth.
