Sawyer x Kora in Okrane

Kora in Okrane - meaning “women who rise at dawn” - was founded 17 years ago entirely by volunteers. Since then, KIO has tackled a wide range of community needs from installing smokeless stoves in homes to hosting children’s reading events. 

The project to bring clean water to every single person in the Marshall Islands began 6 years ago by prioritizing the most vulnerable of their community on the outer islands as the first filter recipients. KIO volunteers worked with traditional women leaders to ensure that everyone on the islands understood how to use and maintain the filters, and in July of 2023 the project to secure clean water for every household in the Marshall Islands was officially completed.

The "Miracle Bucket"

Le Sawyer Bucket System est le système de filtration le plus utilisé par les communautés isolées qui ont besoin d'un accès à l'eau potable. Tous les projets d'assainissement de l'eau de Sawyers sont dotés d'un filtre à membrane à fibres creuses de 0,1 micron absolu qui élimine 99,99999 % de toutes les bactéries, telles que la salmonelle, le choléra et l'E. coli, 99,9999 % de tous les protozoaires, tels que le giardia et le cryptosporidium, ainsi que 100 % des microplastiques.
