THE PROBLEM

Every day more than 10.000 people die due to contaminated drinking water. Almost 800 million have no access to clean water. They lack the necessary means and knowledge to change their situation.

Our vision is to empower people to get access to safe drinking water through entrepreneurial action.

 

OUR SOLUTION

A simple filter made from local resources, such as clay and sawdust, can introduce change! We developed a sustainable approach to the problem, which enables people to produce and sell their own water filter. At the same time, we spread awareness for the importance of clean water at schools and in society.

 

PROGRESS, PLANS & GOALS

Our project is currently located in Kigoma in the west of Tanzania. There we have established a filter shop with an integrated workshop and machines. The filters are produced and sold there. Our Waterpreneurs are qualified Tanzanians whom we taught how to use the machines and to build filters. Additionally, they are trained to address the issue of water awareness and explain the filter's operating principle.

To realize our vision, we are working in cooperation with local government, different schools and other institutions.

 

THE TEAM

We are a group of dedicated students from different Munich universities with various areas of expertise. As part of Enactus, we belong to a student based non-profit organization, which has the goal to change the world by helping people in need through entrepreneurial means. A better world for a better life.
