THANKS a lot to France National TV for introducing us to France Nationals and make our story viral online - we got a lot of comments and connections through Global Visibility created by this TV Station. The Journalists from France National TV visited my home town in Karatu / Arusha - Tanzania and spent two weeks with me, my mother, my community in Gongali, and particularly our customers. They visited our customers and prepared high quality videos - as you can see in the attached video clip. The turn-up was very exciting because many France Nationals like Jennifer and Béatrice URGENTLY responded by supporting the needy families through GlobalGiving. Many families benefited from those donations, like Mr. Haris and his family (consider the attached photo). We will give detailed report to whoever is interested to learn more about our initiative and how to scale-up to reach many people in Sub-suharan Africa and elsewhere, as the funding will allow. Please kindly contact us via hilonga@gmail.com.
HERE IS WHAT IS WRITEN IN FRENCH (I cannot read it - but I think it might be something nice about our innovation):
Askwar Hilonga, ingénieur chimiste, a inventé un outil révolutionnaire : un filtre à base de nanoparticules qui pourrait permettre aux familles tanzaniennes de purifier l’eau. Son atout : sa capacité à s'adapter aux problèmes spécifiques de chaque région (virus, bactéries, métaux lourds ou pesticides). Dans ce pays l'eau potable est un bien précieux et rare, puisque 70 % de la population n'y a pas accès: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNqLqy4gGA0
