In the past it seems very obvious that the solution to the question, "how do we get portable water to all of Africa"?, ended up being a process which does not entails advanced technology, but require just high school level chemistry.
According to the Omni Proceessor's website, the machine can process a moving van worth of sewage each day and convert it into 10,800 litres of water a day. If the calculations as given by the Institute of Medicine is used, that quantity of drinking water will be enough to keep 3700 people healthy, per day.
The Bill Gates' new innovated machine, the Omni Processor releases heat to the dry faeces and same waste is being burnt as fuel. When the steam circulate via the generators, it is captured and turned into liquid water. No pathogen can survive the high temperature that the steam go through, therefore the water comes out perfectly safe to drink.
