WeWater is … school without belly ache

The boy in the red T-shirt, squatting so happily in front of the new WeWater AQQAcube on the left, is called Michael. He is from Okenye Village in Kenya where children have time to be children again – since the arrival of the filters 8 weeks ago. And adults have many worries less. Michael is 14 years old, a bright 8th grader. “Since we don’t have to drink turbid water anymore, I no longer have stomach aches,” he says. “They were often so bad that I couldn’t go to school at all.” He now also doesn’t miss first classes to fetch water early in the morning before it becomes even more polluted during the day.

In 24 hours, the two mobile filters turn 2400 liters of brown water into clear drinking water. 1716 villagers are already supplied every day.
