Today, we are pleased to announce that all necessary materials for our study have been successfully delivered to our local team in Kenya. This includes 1,050 ceramic water filters (CWF), domestic water meters to measure the water usage, and 2,400 high-sensitivity E.coli water tests for measerung the water contamination. We extend our gratitude to all who helped us, particularly to the Kenyan Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) for their invaluable support in importing a part of these materials into the country.
Prior to initiating the baseline survey activities, our principal investigators (PIs) will oversee the installation of the domestic water meters into the ceramic water filters. This process will be carried out under the strictest hygienic conditions to prevent any potential contamination of the filter elements. Once everything is properly settled, the study can finally begin!
