Our main objective is to decrease waterborne and hygiene-related diseases in off-grid regions by providing access to safe, hot water using 100% renewable solar energy. Achieving this goal improves families’ health and economic conditions, and decreases dependence on firewood for their most primary needs. So far, Solvatten has reached more than 400,000 people through various programs and partnerships all over the world.

We are always focused on adding value to our programs through partnerships and community-based initiatives related to education, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), equality, environment, or climate. Some ways we achieve this include integrating Solvatten into projects running in schools, into initiatives focused on the safety of women, with organizations focused on reducing deforestation, and with programs that create safe water storage or “Tippy Taps” for easy hand washing.
