CAWST and ENPHO organized a five-day Project Implementation workshop for local entrepreneurs in Nepal. Although Narayan Pandey had some ideas about the biosand filter, he learnt a lot about the importance of safe water, project planning and implementation. After the training he started to manufacture biosand filters on his house premises. He has received technical support from ENPHO and CAWST since then. Now he is running a "Lumbini Filter Industry" in the western region of Nepal and sold over 3000 filters.
