The Challenge

Over 70% of Tanzania's population rely either on expensive or unsafe sources of drinking water. The lack of clean water and sanitation causes 80% of all sickness and disease in the developing world - affecting more people than war, AIDS, and famine combined. In Tanzania alone, we produce over 13 Billion Plastic bottles each year, but shockingly only 1 in 20 Bottles is recycled. Our Cities, rivers, lakes and beaches are continuously crowded with plastic waste. Those with re-usable bottles cannot re-fill direct from the tap, as this water is already unsafe because of common leakages on our water pipe systems. Similar is to all the countries in the developing world.

Bottled water is Expensive

The cost of a liter of bottled water costs the same as a day’s worth of cooking, washing, showering, and toilet flushing. Shockingly, bottled water is between 200 and 1,000 times more expensive than tap water. Comparatively, if a family paid bottled water prices for tap water, their monthly water bill would be close to $9,000!

Environment is at Risk

A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump another 20% by 2021. It is estimated that by 2050, the oceans will contain more plastic waste than fish. Most plastic bottles used for water are made from polyethylene terephthalate (Pet), which is highly recyclable; shockingly only 1 in 20 may be recycled in Africa

Health is at Risk

According to WHO, every minute a newborn dies from infection caused by lack of safe water and unclean environment. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 502,000 diarrhoeal deaths each year. Bisphenol A (BPA) and other chemicals used to make plastic bottles poses danger to those considering bottled water as an alternative.

Our Solution

Ecowater is a cheap and easy alternative to bottled water, providing unlimited access to cold, filtered and purified water on the go. As part of our solution we are designing, developing and deploying commercial grade and sophisticated water purification and vending machines that dispense filtered and pure water at different public areas around the cities and towns.

We create a responsible production and consumption that substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. With our cost effective model, we ensure safe water for all, good health and well being. Our impact include reduced number of deaths and illnesses from water contamination and an equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all!
