After an earthquake that struck the region of Arequipa, the existing water distribution network was destroyed. The communities and the Peruvian Red Cross prepared a project for safe water. Core elements of the project were the teaching and practise of the SODIS method, improved hygiene and health, and organizational strengthening of the communities. At the end of the project, 75% of the beneficiary population was using SODIS for water disinfection.
