Access to clean water is not guaranteed. Wells can run dry or become contaminated, and seawater is too salty to drink without treatment. Large, fixed desalination plants are expensive to build and maintain, and they only serve one specific area.

Other methods, like water evaporation, can be extremely harmful to the environment. Groundwater, especially in coastal or remote areas, is often polluted with salt and disease-causing organisms.

That’s why portable watermakers are the ideal solution. They provide clean, drinkable water anywhere it’s needed, quickly, efficiently, and without heavy infrastructure or environmental damage.

Our water purification takes place in monthly 3-day expeditions with a team of five people. We use three Rainman 140L/hour watermakers to turn seawater into drinking water directly in the field. Here’s how it works:

1. Seawater is collected in buckets and poured into a large basin.

2. The portable water purification units convert the seawater into clean drinking water.

3. The clean water is stored in yellow 20-liter jerrycans.

4. The village chiefs, peacekeepers, and the local president oversee the monthly distribution to every family.

Each expedition produces 15,000 liters of water, and with twelve expeditions, we reach our target of 200,000 liters for the entire village.

To make this possible, we need your help: one jerrycan costs €10 and holds 20 liters of life-saving water. Transporting them over 800 km of rugged 4x4 terrain is a major challenge that we can only overcome with community support.
