“All over the world there is a lack of clean and safe drinking water. Children suffer from typhoid fever and become ill from dirty water. We collect donations so that we can make drinking water accessible to those in need with our filters.”
Drinking water is a human right. Yet 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from thirst or fall ill from polluted water. Our mission is to provide these people with an existential livelihood through clean water.
That is why we collect donations and make our innovative water filters available to those in need. Why are our filters special? They need no electrical energy, work without chemicals, are cheap to produce, durable and have been proven to remove 99.9999% of all bacteria. The retention rate for viruses is also enormously high. This is how we can make contaminated water drinkable.
A brief introduction to our products:
The AQQAcube can be used for six months at a time without maintenance and filters 1000 litres of water per day with an operating time of 12 hours. After 6 months, the filter must be serviced. After that, the filter can be used for another 6 months. In case of defects, the water filter can be replaced modularly - a long-lasting and favourable concept. The AQQAcube costs 1470 euros gross. It saves 96,000 plastic bottles within one year.

The AQQAbag can be used guaranteed for about 6 months and saves about 720 PET bottles in this period. We distribute our AQQAbags locally free of charge and pay out a small bonus when they are returned after six months and a feedback form is answered. This way we prevent unrecycled plastic waste and receive valuable feedback for the further development of our products. After 6 months, the AQQAbag is cleaned. An AQQAbag costs 49 euros gross. It can filter 4 litres of water in 8 hours of operation.

Our AQQAsystem is a modular system. It can be produced to a size of up to 100,000 litres of water filtration capacity per day, depending on local conditions.

What does your donation do?
One litre of filtered safe water costs (based on research projects of the TU Berlin) 0.0012 € for our filters.
This results in the following figures:
A 10€ donation provides 8,333 litres of clean drinking water.
A 25€ donation provides 20.833 litres of clean drinking water
A 50€ donation provides 41,666 litres of clean drinking water.
A 100€ donation provides 83.333 litres of clean drinking water
A 200€ donation provides 166.666 litres of clean drinking water
