We are pleased to be able to announce a partnership between ColaLife and the SODIS group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). The SODIS group within Eawag do research, promotion and lobbying work for SODIS at global scale, they also run the website www.sodis.net (or www.sodis.ch).

Together we will be designing a programme to look at the SODIS elements of the ColaLife concept or, more specifically, how we can incorporate SODIS into the AidPod Mothers Kit (Diarrhoea Treatment Kit). The two options we are considering at the moment are a SODIS Bag that fits into the AidPod (see above) or an ‘active AidPod’ which is itself a SODIS device that could be used to disinfect water using the SODIS technique (see below).
