Water for Life supplies solar powered units that turn the water a site already has into safe drinking water. Installed, maintained and supported in the communities that use them.
Water for Life supplies water purification units across East Africa, starting in Rwanda. We handle site assessment, installation, operator training and servicing.
We work with households, offices, communities, schools, clinics, businesses and public facilities. Capacity and setup are matched to the site rather than sold as a single package.
Piped networks keep extending, and they will keep reaching more people every year. What they cannot do is reach everywhere at once, and the places still waiting are the ones where a source already sits close by.
Treating that water where it stands is quick to put in, affordable to run, and works with whatever the site already has.
Kept serviced, a unit keeps producing for years, which is what turns access into something a school, a clinic or a community can rely on.
From a containerised unit serving a whole community down to a single institution or remote site.
The largest units we supply. Shared access points serving households, markets and gathering places, sized for continuous daily draw and run by trained local operators.
Institutional supply where safe water is used all day, every day, with capacity matched to the number of people on site and the hours they need it.
Supply for operations, staff and customers, specified around what the process needs and how much of it runs at once.
Locations without a reliable piped supply, where the unit has to work with whatever source is nearby and keep working with minimal attention.
Every installation includes site assessment, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service.
Most sites already have water nearby. It is rarely safe, and treating it where it sits is faster and cheaper than piping clean water in from somewhere else.
Units run on their own solar panels, so they work with no grid electricity and no running power cost.
Whatever water the site already has is treated to the same safe drinking standard.
Removes 99.9% of physical and bacterial contamination, with treated water held in on board storage.
Sensors test the water as it runs, so what comes out of the tap stays safe.
Volume and performance are reported daily, so operators and funders can see what a site produces.
Enclosed, containerised design for rough conditions, transportable by road or sea and quick to set up.
Safe drinking water where it was hard to come by, and local people trained and paid to keep each unit running.
Solar powered and treated on site, so less water is trucked or bottled in and less fuel is burned boiling it.
We work across East Africa, and Rwanda is where we have started, in Kigali and in the rural districts beyond it. Installations are prioritised where the need is greatest and where existing infrastructure gives us a route in.
