l.3 billion people in our world
have no access to clean water; 3 billion have no access to sanitation.
(James Wolfenson, The Other Crisis, October 98)
Over 70% of the world’s illnesses
could be wiped out overnight if everyone had access to two things: clean
water and adequate sanitation.
(World Health Organization)
Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:20
APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
In our training and work overseas, we introduce technologies that better the quality of life for the poor. These appropriate technologies are simple designs that work off alternative power sources (ex. animals, wind, water, manual-power, solar-power) and basic principles (ex. gravity, levers, pressure).
Dale Fritz, a volunteer at SIFAT, has pioneered many of the technologies we use here today. Check out a more extensive survey of his work featured on his website.
