Chlorine has been used to disinfect drinking water for over a century in central pipelines and in individual households. However since the costs of this are extremely high and not all communities have the necessary infrastructure, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) developed chlorine dispensers to be installed at communal water points.
It has so far only been installed in Kenya, however IPA is planning to scale up the program. The system has the potential to work on a global scale as a solution to waterborne diseases. Studies show it improves health at a cost of US$20 per [[http://www.who.int/healthinfo/global_burden_disease/metrics_daly/en/index.html DALY]] (disability adjusted life yearDisability Adjusted Life Year). Approximately 100$ per DALY is considered very cost effective.
