Clean energy, cleaner water.
Clean energy, Cleaner water.
To provide compact, solar-powered UV water purification solutions that make safe drinking water accessible, affordable, and environmentally sustainable for vulnerable communities.
Founder’s Journey
Clean energy, Cleaner water.
Our work started in August 2023. After researching plastic waste in slums, I found that 7 out of 10 bottles were for drinking water. I realized that solving safe water access could have a much greater impact than recycling alone. Since then, we have built over 12 prototypes and tested our solution with families in local slums, seeing an immediate reduction in illness.
Our innovation lies in combining affordable solar-powered UV-LED technology with a modular, easy-to-repair configuration designed specifically for isolated off-grid communities.

The Problem
The Water Crisis in Rural Uganda.
Over 2,500,000 people in communities, refugee settlements, schools, and health facilities in rural Eastern and Northern Uganda lack access to safe drinking water. Many rely on open or stagnant sources, exposing them to waterborne diseases like diarrhea and dysentery.
Our Solution
Committed to Quality
UV-LED Technology
Our devices use patented 254nm UV-LED technology combined with multistage filtration to purify water from stagnant sources instantly.
Solar-Powered Efficiency
Powered by a 6-watt solar panel, the device operates in off-grid areas, treating up to 180 liters on a single charge.
Modular & Affordable
Designed for self-repair, each component is easily replaceable at an average cost of only €5.
Our Purpose
Innovation & Features
Hybrid Power
Works on both solar energy and standard grid electricity.
Smart Sensors
Integrated sensors detect water turbidity, flow rate, and component effectiveness.
