In low-income countries, less than a third of the population has access to safely managed drinking water facilities. Low-income households lack solutions to purify their water, as boiling is not effective for the removal of particles and buying bottled water is too expensive. Nazava Water Filters are gravity-based ceramic filters empowering households to purify their well, tap or rainwater, without the need to boil or use electricity. At a cost of less than 1 US$/month, households using Nazava can save over US$ 100/year. We target peri-urban and rural households in Indonesia and Kenya that earn less than US$7/day. To date we have sold over 260,000 products and impacted over 600,000 people in more than 30 countries with access to safe, affordable drinking water in their house. The key factor in this success is our partnerships with national microfinance institutions (MFIs), enabling our customers to pay in instalments.
