Samuel Luyayi a Class Six pupil drinks water using a purifying straw at Jamhuri Primary School along Ngong Road. [Boniface Okendo, Standard]Imagine dipping a straw into a pond of stagnant dirty water and watch the brownness ‘magically’ turns into clear drinkable water. The clean sip straw is a compact device that has an inbuilt infiltration system to remove microorganisms and debris in water.

The biggest misgiving she has about the straws is that many people are not used to drinking water using straws, so they are most likely to forget.
