OUR IMPACT
CAN BUSINESS BE A TOOL FOR CHANGE? WE THINK SO.
By delivering reliable, proven water purification technologies at an affordable cost to schools, Impact Water provides safe drinking water solutions to students throughout Africa.
OUR SOLUTIONs
Our safe drinking water systems work for all schools, even those without electricity or piped water, ensuring that we have a solution for all schools regardless of their unique infrastructure challenges.
The impact
THE SOCIAL IMPACT POTENTIAL OF OUR BUSINESS IS FAR REACHING
Improved dignity and health for millions of school children and health facility patients;
Socio-economic advancements which result from reduced absenteeism at school;
Improved gender ratios when safe water is combined with improved sanitation services as menstruation management becomes easier for girls;
Financial savings (as boiling and buying bottled water is expensive);
Reduced biomass consumption and a corresponding decrease in indoor air pollution as these safe water systems will replace the need to boil water resulting in large carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emission reductions; and
Job creation, particularly for the youth, as they become employed in selling and installing systems.
What We Do
IMPACT WATER DELIVERS RELIABLE, LOW COST WATER PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES TO SCHOOLS
We provide long-term maintenance and repair packages, which allows schools to save money while knowing they are safely treating their water at the highest global standards.
The Impact Water country teams work with local school administrators and government leaders to deliver safe water services. We also partner with manufacturers, other businesses, nonprofits, and impact investors to share risk and achieve scale.
We believe that a small, thoughtful group of people can
change the world.
