Sustainable Water Purification Programme
Gold Standard · GS11411 · Tanzania
About this project
The Programme of Activities (PoA) with title ‘Sustainable Water Purification Programme’ plans to distribute solar technology based water purification devices, also referred to as “SaWa”, which is an all-in-one solution for purifying water to households, institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across multiple countries, with a current focus for the United Republic of Tanzania. The main objective is to create access to safe drinking water for all. SaWa is a straightforward and practical product. It can clean 4 liters of water in 4 hours through exposure to the sun. It is easy to use, lightweight and can be folded at the welded seams allowing for effortless transport and storage. The SaWa’s purification technology is based on the proven Solar Water Disinfection Technology (SODIS) which is a 27-year-old-process that has been endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a safe way to purify water.
