Carbon for Water
In Kenya's Western Province, most drinking water is
contaminated. The wood many Kenyans use to boil this water to make it
safe is increasingly valuable. Women and girls, who bear the
responsibility for finding water and fuel, often miss school or work
while seeking both fuel and water. Some even encounter sexual violence.
Yet waterborne illness remains a daily—and life-threatening—reality
for them and their families.
Co-Directed by Evan and Carmen Elsa Lopez Abramson, Carbon For Water introduces audiences to
the inspiring people who face these hardships and explores one
company's innovative solution for improving the health of millions of
Kenyans and the environment in which they live.
