FSU Catholic Student Union x BLUE Service Trip 2025

FILTER PROJECT

Clean water is free from dirt, bacteria, viruses, and pollutants. It can be used to clean, bathe, and wash dishes. We also provide resources for families and schools with training on how to maintain and clean their new filter.

We're excited to upgrade our tap water to potable standards! Through our point-of-use filters, we're introducing an additional treatment tool to our water projects that will make it safe for drinking. BLUE’s ceramic activated carbon filters remove any potential lingering impurities from the water.

 ASSEMBLE and DISTRIBUTE FILTERS FOR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO POTABLE WATER.

• STAY: Sleep in the community inside a local house, community center, or school. Cots provided.

• PRAY: Pray, meditate, and celebrate mass throughout the trip with the group and community. A time to put our faith in action.

• WORK: Learn how to use tools to construct 16-18 bathrooms. See the project through from start to finish.

• ENCOUNTER: Spend an evening with a local family learning about their life and culture.

• EAT: Typical dishes prepared by local cooks from the community. Light breakfast, full lunch and dinner provided every day in the community. (Transportation days not included).

• REFLECT: We are the best versions of ourselves when we commit to serving others. Be open to sharing your service experience with your fellow BLUE fam and how you will apply what you’ve discovered back home.
