WaterStep, Inc.

WaterStep develops and manufactures all of our water and sanitation technologies. Our R&D team listens to our partners' needs and attempts to reach those needs with effective, robust, inexpensive equipment. We currently produce water chlorinators, bleach generators, water balls that allow for easy water transport, portable handwashing stations, and WOW (Water On Wheels) carts that contain not only our proprietary equipment but also reusable filters and large bladders to hold clean water.

WaterStep works with almost anyone around the globe who expresses a need for safe water and sanitation. Once a need is identified, we supply our partners with WaterStep technology, train them on the equipment, help them to assess the community, perform pre- and post-implementation household surveys, design their project, and stay in contact until they get their desired results.

WaterStep collects gently used and donated shoes from around the United States to help fund safe water and sanitation projects. WaterStep sorts donated shoes based on the type of shoe. Once enough shoes are collected, WaterStep sells them to an exporter who then sells them to small businesses overseas. Most of these small businesses are where WaterStep has safe water and sanitation projects going on.

This system helps to fund their safe water and sanitation projects, as well as helping the economies of developing communities around the world. It also keeps tons of usable shoes out of local landfills.
