Install a certified water filter.

Makoko's stilt homes sit over the Lagos Lagoon, and most households rely on sachet water or untreated lagoon water for cooking and washing because no piped mains reach the stilt sections. Contaminated water drives diarrheal illness in children here every rainy season. A host-invited household filter turns unsafe water into a daily safety habit without any contact with the lagoon itself.

Pay

$180 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo of installed filter + host sign-off

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Meet the host family and confirm they invited the filter install.
2. Inspect the household's current water storage container for cracks or an open top.
3. Mount the certified point-of-use filter unit at the household's water station.
4. Flush the new filter per the manufacturer's start-up instructions using clean supplied water.
5. Walk the household through daily cleaning and cartridge-check steps.
6. Photograph the installed filter and record the household's confirmation.

What counts as done

• Before/after photo of the water station
• GPS-tagged photo of the mounted filter
• Host household confirmation note
• Date of install recorded

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Drinking Water Safety. Drinking water safety rests on hard numbers: the EPA and the World Health Organization publish exact limits for lead, bacteria, nitrates, and the rest, the line between water that is safe and water that only looks safe. Clear water can fail the test; slightly cloudy water can pass it. Only the test knows. Mastery means clean sampling habits, honest custody of every sample, and readings a stranger can trust. This packet is one correct sample or one careful reading, taken by the book. Every safe glass of water stands on somebody having done this properly.
