Women Empowerment refers to the process by which women gain power and control over their lives and acquire the ability to make strategic choices. Health is a crucial factor in empowering women and lack of access to clean drinking water in many underdeveloped communities leads to poor health outcomes and lower life expectancy which derails the process of women empowerment.

We are on a mission to ensure provision of clean drinking water to generate a ripple effect of positive change towards women empowerment across all communities. Over 200 million hours are collectively spent everyday by women collecting water from the nearest water source. Also, carrying heavy vessels for water collection can be fatal for pregnant women. Furthermore, consuming unsafe water can fatally affect the health of women and their babies. Provision of clean water can empower women to pursue education, utilize growth opportunities, achieve financial independence, and look after their families.

The Solar Water Project (Bondh E Shams) aims to empower women by presenting them with an opportunity to live a healthy life, simply by providing access to safe drinking water. Our OASIS box technology mitigates the risk of contracting water borne diseases by eliminating microbial pathogens at the source, turning any contaminated source of water to a drinkable one. This not only improves quality of life and raises life expectancy, but also boosts mental and physical capabilities which puts women in a better position to pursue their education and career, and take part in key decision making processes.

Your donations can help us serve clean drinking water to women and children in underserved communities, and enable them to live a healthy prosperous life.

The goal of climate preservation is to protect our environment from harmful practices, and restore the climate to a stable state. Fossil fuels have played a major role in global climate change, responsible for around 75% of GHG emissions and more than 90% of all carbon emissions. Microsoft founder Bill Gates in his book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” suggests that almost 51 billion tons of GHGs are emitted every year.

Not only has climate change led to a rise in sea levels by 3.2 millimeters per year, but it has also resulted in loss of biodiversity, higher frequency of natural disasters, and shortages of clean drinking water.

The alarming situation calls for rethinking climate preservation and adopting innovative approaches to shield earth from climate abnormalities. The amount of carbon and GHG emissions must be cut down to half by 2030, and reach net-zero by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change. One way is by shifting the consumption of energy from fossil fuels to clean and renewable substitutes such as solar energy.

The Solar Water Project (Bondh E Shams) uses solar energy solutions to resolve global issues like lack of available clean drinking water. With a service life of 20+ years, our solar-powered OASIS box is a pioneering technology that utilizes photovoltaic cells to power the nanofiltration process that filters out pathogens at source. Our organization is also in line with the SDG Goal 7 that advocates the use of clean and affordable renewable energy sources.

Our Children’s health is essential for their physical growth, cognitive development, and academic performance. Over 85,700 children under the age of 15 die every year from diarrheal diseases caused by unsafe drinking water, and lack of sanitation and hygiene facilities.

Children are particularly vulnerable to harm from contaminated water because they not only drink more water per pound of body weight than adults, but also swim and play in dirty water, which exposes them to higher amounts of contaminants than adults.

A child’s health also directly impacts their ability to receive education and expand their cognitive abilities. Over 64 million primary school-aged children worldwide are not enrolled in schools due to various reasons, including poor health. Moreover, almost 443 million school days are missed by children every year due to waterborne diseases.

Our Solar Water Project (Bondh E Shams) promotes the holistic development of children by providing them access to a nurturing, safe, and healthy environment that helps them excel academically. By ensuring access to clean drinking water, we strive to empower children who will grow up to lead their communities to new heights.

At the Solar Water Project (Bondh E Shams), we firmly believe that investment in children's health and education is essential for the future of our world.
