Safe Water is a Fundamental Human Right
Safe water at school ensures healthier students, better attendance and learning, and brighter futures.
Yet, 546 million students still lack access to this basic right.
Healthier Learning, Better Attendance, and Brighter Futures
1 of 3 schools globally, and 2 of 3 in Africa, lack safe drinking water.
We are addressing this crisis by providing low-cost and scalable drinking water treatment solutions to schools.

Unlimited Potential.
Kudos to Impact Water for its remarkable efforts in providing safe drinking water to schools. Thanks to this initiative, schools now benefit from multiple drinking points with treated water. This improvement has led to a noticeable decrease in student absenteeism and has positively impacted academic performance.
