Our Approach
Inserting a simple filtration technology at the point where household life and waterborne pathogen exposure intersect.
Inserting a simple filtration technology at the point where household life and waterborne pathogen exposure intersect.
Four environments where household filtration changes the pathogen exposure equation.
Agricultural workers in sugarcane regions face compounding water exposure risks linked to CKDu incidence. Filtration reduces one significant exposure variable within their daily water use.
In rural burn care settings, water quality during wound treatment and recovery directly affects infection outcomes. Clean water at the household level is a basic but under-addressed need.
Leprosy-affected communities often exist in geographic and social isolation, outside municipal water systems. Household filtration addresses water quality at the scale of the individual household.
Climate disruption destabilizes water source quality in agricultural and peri-urban areas. Point-of-use filtration provides a household-level buffer against intermittent contamination events.
