Abundant Water is a not-for-profit humanitarian development organisation. We’ve created a simple, innovative clay-pottery water filter that we install in rural Laos, and have recently started working in Nepal.
Our water filters help remote communities stop disease and early death by eliminating endemic waterborne diseases such as dysentery, gastro-enteritis, cholera and typhoid.
We train local villagers and potters so that they can produce their own filters and establish micro-businesses to develop local capability and ensure ongoing use of the technology. Further, Abundant Water empowers women and children because collecting wood to boil and purify water usually falls at their feet.
We are developing a model to enable anyone in need, anywhere in the world, to access clay-pottery water filter technology and clean drinking water. We use natural materials and traditional techniques.
