Our Five Themes
Solvatten provides households with access to clean warm water using the power of the sun. It impacts more than just water quality—from health and finances to climate, security, and the ability to manage crises.

The Ripple Effect
We develop collaborations built on interpersonal relationships that influence how Solvatten is used and monitored over time, creating even more value—like a ripple effect.
Through education and the users’ own participation, a sense of ownership and self-determination is created, which is vital in all forms of collaboration.
Mutual trust is fundamental to creating a sustainable future for everyone.
Get in touch with us and we will be happy to tell you more about our method and what we recommend to anyone who wants to carry out a Solvatten project together with us or independently.
Step by Step
Needs Analysis
Projects begin by identifying areas where access to clean water is lacking and families are at risk of waterborne diseases, such as cholera.
Dialogue and Planning
Together with local organizations and stakeholders, activities are developed based on local conditions. All efforts aim to reduce the risk of waterborne diseases and improve the water situation.
Education and Engagement
Representatives of the local community, especially women and those managing the household, receive training on how to use Solvatten and how it can contribute to better health, generate improved income, and reduce environmental impact.
We recommend that participants are required to pay a fee or provide a contribution.
Distribution
All Solvatten units are registered in a digital registry. Solvatten is then distributed to households, savings groups, schools, and health clinics where local project leaders have identified the greatest needs.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Usage and impact are monitored over time to ensure everything is functioning and delivering results. This can be done through meetings, home visits, or mobile phone communication.
I de enstaka fall Solvatten inte används förordar vi att organisationen identifierar ett nytt hushåll med ett större behov.
Measuring Household Impact
When a family gains access to Solvatten, both health and quality of life improve. Clean water for drinking and warm water for hygiene, laundry, and cooking reduce the risk of waterborne diseases and create better conditions for a more secure daily life.
At the same time, the need for firewood and charcoal to boil water is reduced. This saves time, reduces household costs, and helps decrease the pressure on both local forests and the climate.
For the family, the impact is about more than just water. It is about a behavioral change that leads to better health, increased security, and more time for work, school, family, and other parts of daily life that would otherwise be neglected.
Selected Projects with Solvatten
Solvatten is used in several types of projects depending on local needs, target groups, and context. Here are some of the areas where the solution is currently used with organizations and partners.
