The goal is a transfer of technical knowledge on last improvements of production process of water filters. The FSG unit production will start up production of filters or candles, and the potential market is to be evaluated. Also the lines of a project market strategy are to be defined.

The filter factory should be able to operate as a business and sustain without external financial support. This only works when there is a real market for the filters. A distinction should be made between the retail market, which are often the middle class families who have enough education to know about the potential risks of drinking unsafe water and who have disposable income to spend on the filter on the one hand, and the NGO and institutional market on the other hand, buying filters for free or subsidized distribution to very poor families. By further developing these two markets, filter production and sales can be sustained by free market principles.
