Impact Water provides safe drinking water solutions to students throughout Africa by delivering reliable, proven water purification technologies at an affordable cost to schools. Before Impact Water launched in Uganda, boiling was often the only tool schools had to make drinking water safe for their students. Schools struggled with the cost of firewood as well as the hours lost to the chore of boiling water.
