About this project

The water purifiers of the project will offer an affordable, long-term and zero emission solution for households that generally consume unsafe drinking water. It will not only dramatically increase access to safe drinking water but also reduce consumption for woody fuels previously required to treat drinking water, which will decrease environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.
