Why you should lis­ten to him

Abun­dant Water was estab­lished in 2008 to train Lao vil­lage pot­ters to make, from noth­ing more than clay and cof­fee grounds, their own drink­ing water filters.

The project was born after Sunny Forsyth was amazed by the poten­tial that such a sim­ple fil­ter had to help the bil­lion peo­ple who do not have access to clean drink­ing water and the real­i­sa­tion that this inno­va­tion was cur­rently not being shared with those who need it.

The project was estab­lished as a grass roots com­mu­nity and has become a study in what is pos­si­ble when a global com­mu­nity of pas­sion­ate vol­un­teers rally around an issue. Sunny will share this story and demon­strate how we can all make a dif­fer­ence regard­less of our circumstances.

I am inspired by ordi­nary peo­ple doing extra­or­di­nary things.
