Over 80% of Ugandans still lack access to safe drinking water.

We are an international team developing practical and creative solutions for safe water and sanitation where they’re needed most.

Our international initiative brings together young minds from engineering, design, and film to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation in Uganda. We combine practical approaches with fresh student ideas to create sustainable solutions for a more just future.

Changing the world is possible. We’re already doing it – project by project.

Our team brings hands-on experience and bold ideas to one of the most urgent challenges of our time: access to clean water and sanitation. We’re driven by results, rooted in local collaboration, and proud of a growing list of successful, community-based projects.

Curious how real impact happens?

From idea to implementation, our approach is hands-on, collaborative, and rooted in local needs. Whether it’s student-led innovation or proven technology adapted to new contexts – we focus on what works. Discover how we design, build, and sustain solutions that last.

“One of the most inspiring things to me is how much we can do to improve water quality with very little means. Creating simple, clear bacteria-free water is a huge step for a lot of areas!”
