OUR VISION
To enable healthy and prosperous communities where everyone has access to clean water.
OUR MISSION
To improve health outcomes through equitable and affordable access to clean water.
THE PROBLEM
Today, 1 in 3 people globally lacks access to clean water because water is unsafe, unreliable, and unaffordable (UNICEF, WHO).
Some traditional humanitarian aid to tackle water scarcity seems to perpetuate a vicious circle of dependence and poverty.
OUR SOLUTION
Aquaful provides safe, reliable, and affordable access to potable water through water kiosks.
Water Kiosks are managed by and for the people who need them, turning the vicious circle into a virtuous circle of interdependence and wealth.
Our Business Model
How does it work ?
- STEP 1
- STEP 2
- STEP 3
- STEP 4
- STEP 5
Water purification
Locally available water is pumped from ponds, rivers, wells.
Water is then purified by reverse osmosis filtration.
Conditioning
The purified water is then conditioned in 20-liter sanitized and sealed jugs, providing 2 to 3 days of consumption for an average household.
Order, payment and delivery
Once the orders are placed, and the payment made via mobile phones, the jugs are then delivered directly to the wholesalers or to the families or to the schools etc. Through fuel efficient trucks or motor bikes.
Recycling
The empty jugs are collected, cleaned and reused, thus reducing the plastic footprint and creating a circular economy.
Quality control
The water quality is monitored every month and complies with WHO standards, generating a virtuous circle.
Our first pilot
The first pilot will be implemented in Cameroon where some 5 million people – about half of the rural population – lack access to potable water.
