Pitch
As part of her PhD thesis, biochemist Aminata Kaboré has demonstrated that moringa oleifera seeds can eliminate impurities and microbes contained in surface water. The manipulation, without chemical product, helps transform contaminated water into drinking water. According to several testimonies, the collected water facilitates digestion and heals constipation. The technology, first tested in the laboratory, is being experimented in four villages in the province of Sourou. It is applied by 80 households that benefited from a transfer of skills.

Sans filtration, cela varie entre 90 à 95 %.”" Aminata Kabore
