Life Force Kiosks just completed its fifth month of live operations and we continue to see fantastic results. I was pleased with our first month’s performance of purifying 20,000 liters of water. However, that number pales in comparison to this month’s outstanding result of 55,000 liters of drinking water purified. Since launching in late May, [...]

Every Sunday, Life Force Kiosks is in the community conducting our raffles. For anyone new to this blog, I’ll provide a quick overview. Whenever a customer buys either a water treatment top-up or a jerry can washing from Life Force Kiosks, their sales receipt doubles as a raffle ticket. This has two substantial benefits. 1.

Month 1 of Life Force Kiosks is in the books, and I’m excited about our results so far. In just our first month, we have purified over 20,000 liters of drinking water and cleaned over 330 storage containers.

I spent a few days this week in rural Kenya working on a sanitation project so I wasn’t able to announce a huge milestone. Life Force Kiosks recently purified our 10,000th liter of drinking water in Kibera. Actually, we’re already at over 11,000 liters purified. We’ve also cleaned about 200 water storage containers. As expected, [...]

Life Force Kiosks just completed its second full week of operations and the initial results are positive. So far our ten vendors have purified over 4,000 liters of drinking water and cleaned over 150 water storage containers. Not bad for a brand new service in one of the poorer villages within Kibera. Sales were a [...]

It’s with great excitement that I announce that Life Force Kiosks began operations in the Gatwekera village of Kibera today. We launched this morning with an incredibly successful community event. The band and Emcee did a fantastic job of gathering and entertaining crowds of people who sat in our tents and lined the street to hear about [...]

It’s amazing to think that what began with a simple tour through Kibera over a year ago has turned into an organization with two Kenyan managers, twelve water vendors, and an innovative model to improve access to clean drinking water in the poorest communities. Life Force Kiosks is currently scheduled to start operations on Wednesday, [...]

I apologize for the delay in posting to the blog. It isn’t due to lack of activity, but rather an overwhelming volume of activity as we rapidly approach the launch of Life Force Kiosks in Kibera. I’ll write another post in the next couple of days on the launch, but first I wanted to share [...]

After a productive meeting with the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) this morning, it was agreed that water testing will begin as early as this Thursday. For those of you who enjoyed your science classes, I thought I’d share the details and objectives of the testing process. This initial round of testing has two parts. The [...]
