This document discusses providing clean water solutions to rural communities in Africa. It summarizes the UN's Millennium Development Goals of improving access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Currently, over 40% of people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to improved water sources. The SkyHydrant water purification system is presented as an affordable solution, using microfiltration and chlorine to produce potable water from local sources with minimal infrastructure. Recent projects have installed SkyHydrants in refugee camps in Uganda to provide clean drinking water for thousands of people daily. Contact information is provided for organizations working to install more SkyHydrants in several African countries to improve access to safe water.
