Moringa water treatment from BlueGoldWorks? The Moringa tree is also the phantom tree, ghost tree or the African Moringa. In Afrikaans, it is known as the sprokiesboom. The Herero tribe calls it Omutindi, and to the Ovambo tribe, it is known as Oluhongwe. It adapts to the hot, dry Namib Desert. Its succulent stem stores water and nutrients. These help it through the dry winter months, allowing it to multiply here in the hot Richtersveld as well. The silvery bark reflects the sun’s rays. The silvery bark is preventing the plant from overheating and the seeds release are only releases during summer and autumn. Which is when the most rainfall occurs in Namibia and northern South Africa. The wind then scatters these seeds, and so new trees grow, and the Moringa population multiplies.
Products from the Moringa tree are well known for their antioxidant, anti-aging and anti-bacterial qualities. Blue Gold Works provides African farmers with a market for source verified, organic Moringa oil and Moringa honey for export to high end cosmetics firms. By year 5, Blue Gold Works will return revenue of $9 million directly to the farmers. We also educate and support the farmers’ efforts to remain organic and improve the soil and environment. Farmers working with Blue Gold Works will have planted an additional 600 hectares of Moringa trees, sequestering 44 million pounds of CO2 per year. Discover more info on Water treatment plants.
When I became a mother, I had an epiphany. Now and forever, I am linked in a chain of humanity responsible for creating a safer, healthier planet for the next generation. That is our legacy. Where, I asked myself, should I focus my efforts for the greatest impact? The provision of clean, safe, drinking water is today’s most complicated, most intractable global problem. Two billion people on our planet don’t have ready access to safe drinking water. In the developing world, sixty percent of deaths of children under the age of five are from waterborne illnesses. Girls endanger themselves walking hours every day fetching water, giving up their chance for education and diminishing their future earning power. Billions of dollars in International Aid has utterly failed to sustainably build and maintain water treatment plants or dig wells. Nations are already in conflict over diminishing water supplies. Poor health, little education, grinding poverty, strife. The cycle repeats.

The seeds can even be crushed and added to murky water to purify it, as it acts as a natural binder. This Binder either moves the undesired particles to the bottom or allows them to float to the surface. On the surface, it is easy to remove. It is only about 2 to 3 seeds per litre of water. The San people used the Moringa tree as a supply for water, especially in the desert regions of Southern Africa. They would make a small hole in the bottom of the tree trunk. Just big enough to fit in a piece of reed. After a while, the tree sap would start to flow. The san collected the watery liquid, in ostrich shells, it is quite bitter, but in time of no to very little water available, this was good enough to keep them going! They would then reseal the hole with a piece of clay made from the tree sap and some soil which prevents the tree from rotting and move on to their next destination.
