Programs and results
What we aim to solve
A child dies every 21 seconds due to contaminated water. Fountains of Hope purifies water using salt, water and a 12 volt battery. Through electrolysis, the purifier system produces chlorine gas which is injected into a water tank to disinfect the water. The FoH system can purify 3,600 gallons of water per hour.
