Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology

Their website is www.cawst.org

- CAWST is a Canadian-based non-profit organization (may also be Calgary-based)
- works with global organizations around the world (WHO, UNICEF, Water For Life, World Youth Movement, and many others)
- wants to help deal with unsanitary water and sanitation around the world
- through... providing filters, providing services and providing labour to help families, communities and towns who don't have clean water
- there are many ways that people can help with CAWST, but the most convenient way that I can see with our Leadership class is donations.
- for every donation of $15, CAWST will set up a filter device in a location where unsanitary water can be stored and filtered. These filters last 15-25 years (the filtering process is natural using sand and other natural substances).
