neighbouring ones and had a daycare for young children. The water filter design was based on the conventional water filters that were done in science experiments: using rocks, gravels, sand and charcoal. However, it was adapted to make it more durable in the long run and can be used on a larger scale by supplying the whole village with a filtering rate of 6.5 litres per minute. Instead of having one large tank where the materials were layered over each other, the water filter was separated into four different tanks, each tank consisting of a different kind of material. This was so that it would be easier to replace materials inside the tanks later on, and the system would be much more sanitary as the tanks were connected with pipes in a way where sediments in the water would not be able to pass through, instead collecting at the bottom of the tanks where murky water could be drained through a tap. This design is a far more cost efficient and sustainable system than ones commonly purchased in supermarkets. Over the Songkran break, we had the opportunity to visit this rural community (4 hours from Bangkok with 7km of rocky roads) which consists of 897 people in the North-West of Thailand. We were extremely happy to see the water filter up and running, providing the village and its surroundings with clean water and improving the health and well-being of children and adults alike. Our money also went into buying five solar cells to power the daycare and important community areas, decreasing the burden of having no electricity in the village.

This trip ultimately motivated us to expand Cube Care’s horizons and goals for the future, which now include potentially contacting GRIFAD.org, a charity providing water filters from the UK, to maintain our mission of improving good health for a wider impact. In addition, we would like to help other villages, attempting to adapt to the differences in needs and geographical situations of each village to deliver the best healthcare facilities possible. However, we will keep close ties with Moo Baan Nam Phu and build on this connection by collaborating with other clubs and organisations which specialise in providing different needs.
