• Save money and electricity within the Recycling  process, Blue filter component’s we can recycle it more than 15 times  without any deficiency in their quality
• Availability of raw materials at any time ( All raw material of blue filter are available in Gaza strip )
• Health security in terms of No microbes after treatment (we using green Nanosilver “ newly in water disinfectant process” )
• A good job opportunity sources for new farmers group, because Blue filter will provide work in each execution  stage ( Each farm need Blue filter systems, and this depend on the size of farm and water basins for treatment process so these installments need labor to work in good ways
•  Blue filters meet   SDG   goals  6  for water in its strategy as the followings:

• Ensure availability of water and sanitation to all by treating water in green, environmentally friendly ways and (No chemicals or electricity )
• Use it in drinking and agriculture.

The project will contribute significantly to providing environmentally friendly and economically saving ways to treat water pollution in particular from nitrates, which cause cancerous diseases through its transmission through polluted water, the project will achieve secondary products during the treatment process such as environmentally friendly feed and fertilizers, the project will achieve The goals of sustainable development by providing water suitable for irrigation, drinking, by-products, awareness, and education for all in the field of water and the causes of pollution, all of these things will achieve environmental sustainability

This stage was chosen because we are currently validating results with a number of farmers
Through experimentation, and evaluation of work in each area, also the results of treatment, and the quantities of water that are being treated, because we are in the stage of production and development on the project continuously.

Features  of the project for beneficiaries :

-     Filters with different sizes modules (systems)

-     Raw materials of (filter media ) available for any company, institutions and  research centers for  any new use  of treatment

-     Feedstocks, fertilizers, and water for irrigation

Experiences of the project for beneficiaries:

-     Water  and food security

-     Livelihood security

-     Sustainable  income

-     Job opportunity for their families

Benefits of the project  :

-     Water purity and quality from contaminates Nitrates  more than 95% removal efficiency .

-     Save money (its components of the project are available and very cheap in the Gaza strip)

-     Save energy (the project doesn’t need any source of energy to work in the water treatment process )

-     Good health (No chemicals, No Microbes )

-     Low poverty ( the project very important for the poorest area because its access for all and simple to use it without  any problems  )

-     Green products like fodder and fertilizers, the project components during water treatment will produce fodder and fertilizers, these by-products used again for farmers  

-     Recycling process, the project component’s we can recycle it more than 15 times  without any deficiency in its quality

-     Availability of raw materials at any time ( All raw material of the project are available in Gaza strip )

-    water after and before treatment process the same no lose in quantity

-    Integration of new technology (digital technology, applications, and websites ) with farmers

The project firstly works as the followings:

• Starting of the project with targeted farmers 500 at the beginning of financial support as a pilot for the next stage of project goals.
• Determine the type of water treatment required for each farmer upon project examinations
• Determine the number of filters required for Workplace
• Produce and distribute all equipment’s in terms of  the required number of filters for farmers during the treatment process 
• Training farmers on the use and how to treat the water using project outputs
• Fodder and fertilizer production resulting from the treatment process of water
• Evaluation of work  and feedback in order to improve farmers' psychological well-being, their knowledge, and working efficiency   during and after work, activation strategy
• Final report for the first stage and Evaluation
• Moving to the next stage by expanding investment through new financing and new networking sources  in order for the project to include the remaining targeted farmers

In one year we will serve more than 500 Farmers 

Our plan in  years to serve more than 120,000 Farmers all over the world

The project will produce a large number of filter products for purification and treatment (growth strategy plan through project revenues and fundraising) by purchasing new raw materials for the processing and production of filters. In addition, many meetings and workshops will be held with the beneficiary farmers who will implement the project on their farms by studying the required need for daily water and placing the selected farmers in the next step after the end of the funding period, and the project will determine the number and quality of filters for each farmer and set the implementation and follow-up plan for continuity. In providing services and ensuring the continuity of the project with each farmer through achieving the principle of sustainability

By-products will also be collected and used, such as fodder and green fertilizers resulting from the water treatment process

There will be follow-up through field visits, and taking feedback from farmers by the project team to find out more about their opinions about the pros and cons (if any) to see what has been achieved with them before and after the work period, if there is any development of the project products necessary to add them, And how to work with the following farmers after the end of the first phase of project implementation.

I am applying for this award because the idea we present to you is a humanitarian one that will serve the whole world by preserving the source of life, which is water.
This idea was the result of studies and research over various years of suffering and challenges that ended with the success of the goal of this project, which is to treat in an environmentally friendly way water and deliver pure water to every home free of any harm to both humans and the environment.
