About
About Us
We are an organization creating bottled water that can be turned into DIY filtration systems after consumption, for use in Eritrea--a country in Northern Africa with little clean water.
- Provide clean water in the form of bottled water, created using sustainable recycled plastic
- Teach people how to create their own DIY filtration system using the materials in the kit
More than 1 billion people around the world do not have access to clean water. Some of these people have a nearby source of water, but are unable to filter the water in order to clean it. Those sources of water are filthy and include dirt and other debris, and maybe even harmful bacteria such as E. Coli and Cholera. In order to get rid of these harmful products in the water, a filtering system is needed.

01 Lack of clean water in Eritrea affects
80% of its population
Eritrea lacks water as there are frequent droughts and the land is dry. Where water does exist, it is usually contaminated, making it dangerous to drink. The annual rainfall is 15 inches, which is under the world average by a lot.
-
02 Lack of sanitary measures contaminate
the water
This causes high rates of sickness and infection among the people of Eritrea. One such disease is diarrhoeal disease, which is a type of bowel infection. According to UNICEF, diarrhoeal disease is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5 in Eritrea. Another disease is cholera, which can cause death if treatment is not delivered on time as the body will dehydrate over time.
