🌱 Exploring Nature-Based Solutions for Grey Water Treatment 💧

This week, our dedicated volunteers Kristina and Lucas had the opportunity to visit a grey water treatment plant developed by the University of Luxembourg researchers and installed at Lycée Edward Steichen (Clervaux, Luxembourg).

This innovative pilot project is based on nature-based solutions, using a combination of biochar-enhanced sand and plants to naturally purify grey water. The system has demonstrated promising results in delivering a sustainable and efficient water treatment method.

We are enthusiastic about the potential to apply this approach in our international projects, in collaboration with the Water Group at the University of Luxembourg, especially in water-scarce and vulnerable regions.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Silvia Venditti for organizing the visit and generously sharing her insights and and to Dr. Irene for contributing valuable insights from her research on water treatment.

QUARTERLY MEETING EWB LUX

On June 4th, 2025, we gathered for our quarterly meeting at the university — a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and reflect on recent progress.

One of the highlights was the presentation of our recently completed project in Kenya – we’re proud to have successfully delivered a water access solution for St. Joseph’s Girls Secondary School, a boarding school in rural Kenya. 🌍💧

We also shared updates on ongoing initiatives and projects, including:
– Renewable Energy in Zambia ⚡
– Circular Economy efforts in Cameroon ♻️
– And a short report on our internal plastic recycling workshop.

It was fantastic to see both new and familiar faces — thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the inspiring conversations.
