Entrepreneurs earn a commission of $7 per water filter. This additional income can be invested in home improvements, purchasing animals, and ensuring their children can attend school.

ENVIRONMENTAL
A water filtration system created from simple ingredients (clay, sawdust, water, and nanosilver) can produce clean water for a family of 5-10 people for approximately 5 years (saving the purchase of over 25,000 plastic water bottles).
Each clean burning stove saves approximately 20 adult trees and eliminates approximately 10 tons CO2 emissions (essential since Haiti is currently 98% deforested).
