People have pure drinking water to drink everyday, students and teachers in the target schools have pure water from water filter to drink. They do not need to spend money for buying pure water drinking at market or spend time to collect the firewood from the forest. Through the selling water filter, the saving group is increased in its capital, which they could use the increased money for other purpose/or make a small business in order to improve their livelihood. We selected water filter groups and voting for group leaders. We assisted group leaders to set up regulation, structure, role and responsibilities for the water filter group for group members to apply.
