SUQIA | Easy Water for Everyone

 

2nd Place - Easy Water for Everyone (USA)

Easy Water for Everyone presented an innovative project that repurposes hemodialysers to purify water for drinking, washing and cooking in remote villages of Sub-Saharan Africa. The device consists of eight repurposed hemodialysers with the appropriate tubing connections to provide water free of pathogens, through a gravity flow-based method. The project uses a mix of renewable and conventional energy, with plans to only use renewable energy at a larger scale.
