1.1 billion people lack access to safe, clean drinking water. UNICEF is continually challenged and charged with discovering innovative ways to deliver clean water to remote villages and regions across the globe. Solar pumps are an effective, sustainable, and efficient way to deliver clean water to villages and kids.
Solar Pumps have many advantages compared to diesel powered pumps:
- Unattended operation
- Low maintenance – cleaning of the solar panel surfaces
- Long life; panels can produce for up to 40 years
- Environmentally friendly
Currently solar pumps are used in communities and schools as a part of the integrated WASH program.
With your support we can bring clean sustainable water solutions to kids around the world.
