Everything starts with safe water

Solvatten is a Swedish innovation that purifies water by using nothing but solar energy. It opens like a book, and after a few hours in the sun the water is free from waterborne bacterias that would otherwise cause stomach diseases such as dysentery and cholera. Compared to other water purification methods, Solvatten simultaneously heats the water. By combining safe and hot water, beneficiaries can improve both health and hygiene trough a sustainable source of energy.

More than a billion people in the world live without access to safe water and electricity. In Uganda, 24 out of a total 42 million people lack access to clean water in their homes. This has a negative impact on health, education, equality and the environment. Safe water improves living conditions and enables a way out of poverty. Together we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
