Individual + Community Water FiltersThis is the first step in clean water. The advanced purification systems we use protect families and communities from water-borne viruses, bacterias and parasites.
Community WellsImproving access to clean water for communities allows for education, greater life expectancy and the potential to reduce poverty and put an entire community on the path towards a better future.
Water Filtration PlantsConstructing and implementing water filtration systems capable of producing 500 gallons per hour of potable and safe drinking water and employing locals creates project sustainability and economic growth.
Impact LiFE will employ and train locals to maintain and sustain the water filtration plants. These plants will be used to provide a distribution of potable water to be sold to local shops for profit to be used to sustain the plants and pay employees. As locals will be employed and maintaining the systems, this will embed sustainability into the project and provide income generating opportunities.
Impact LiFE is dedicated to ensuring that the process used to purify the water in the communities we serve is done to the highest standards.
