WASH
Lack of access to clean water is one of the world's biggest problems. Millions of people have no choice but to use inadequate water sources, and the risk of hygiene-related and waterborne diseases is high, especially for young children. Read moreWith Solvatten, users suddenly gain access to clean and warm drinking water without any fuel, electricity, or chemicals. This changes lives. It’s easy to overlook, but warm water is also very important, perhaps more so than we realize, for maintaining hygiene, such as handwashing and laundry. Having clean and warm water makes Solvatten unique and far more versatile than many other solutions.
The Challenge
Many water organizations attempt to solve the water crisis by drilling deep wells and distributing or selling chlorine tablets and various filters. This requires extensive logistics, and users’ habits are difficult to change.
Solvatten as a Solution
Since Solvatten lasts for many years, logistics costs can be kept low. Users report that they prefer the taste of the water compared to chlorinated water, and the warm water helps save money from the very beginning. It creates new, simpler ways of living.
Our Work
We frequently and gladly collaborate with water organizations. Together, we see direct benefits across many SDG goals, and we assist each other in implementing projects with adapted educational materials and tools for easy follow-up to create conditions for long-term use and impact.
Impacts
- Reduced risk of waterborne diseases
- Improved hygiene
- Reduced healthcare costs
- Better daily life
