Our main objective is to decrease water and hygiene-related diseases in off-grid regions, by providing access to safe and hot water through solar energy. This improves families’ health and socio-economic conditions, while decreasing the human dependence on firewood for the most primary needs. So far, Solvatten has reached more than 380 000 people through various programs and partnerships all over the world.

To add value to the programs, Solvatten is implemented in cross-sectoral interventions and community initiatives related to education, WASH, equality, environment or climate. For example, this has been done by combining Solvatten with school programs, women-saving groups, planting of trees and creating safe water storage or “Tippy Taps” for easy hand washing.
