Impact Water

Impact Water provides safe drinking water solutions to over 60,000 partner schools, supporting 24 million students daily. Founded in 2014, Impact Water is a nonprofit social enterprise that has spent the past decade learning how to deliver clean and safe drinking water to students and communities in schools at scale. Why safe water in schools? • Safe drinking water is a Human Right. • 546 million school children worldwide lack basic drinking water services at their schools. • Schools are key intervention points for reaching the most children in a community. • Nearly 1 in 3 schools globally, and 2 in 3 in Africa, lack access to safe drinking water. • Unsafe drinking water harms student health, education, and long-term development. • School safe water programs boost attendance, health, and learning outcomes. Meeting the Need Impact Water has developed low-cost, high-impact solutions that treat contaminated water at the point-of-use in schools. We design, assemble, and install the treatment system, while providing ongoing education on the correct use of the technology and the importance of safe drinking water. Looking Ahead In partnership with national governments, donors, and key stakeholders, our school-safe water model is poised for further scaling and replication. Let’s ensure safe drinking water becomes a reality for all students everywhere. Join us!
