Access to a fresh water generator gives people much more than just pure, drinkable water.

Did you know according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 780 million people worldwide do not have access to consistently clean, drinkable water? To those of us who have never gone without it, fresh water is a commodity we often take for granted and mindlessly waste. But for many people in underdeveloped areas of the world (and even the U.S.), hours each day are spent finding and collecting water – some of which may be carrying dangerous bacteria.

Access to fresh water is not only vital to the health and longevity of a community, but it also serves as a pillar for the overall growth and development of those within it. If you’ve never taken the time to consider the transformative power of fresh water, here are four ways access to a fresh water generator can improve the lives of individuals and entire communities across the globe:

Opportunity

Fresh water opens doors to opportunity. Introducing a fresh water generator like the Aldelano Solar WaterMaker to a community that hasn’t previously had easy access to clean water can create job opportunities, severely minimize time spent collecting water and open the door to exponential community growth.

Health & Sanitation

One of the most obvious benefits of having access to a clean water source is the overall reduction of disease. Drinking unsafe water can lead to diarrheal diseases, which can be deadly, especially for young children. In fact, according to the World Health Organization and UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program, water-related diseases affect more than 1.5 billion people every year, and 160 million children suffer from stunting and chronic malnutrition linked to water and sanitation.

Education

Many women and young girls in Africa are responsible for collecting the water for their households, but unfortunately, this means there isn’t much time left to go to school. As a result, many women don’t have the opportunity to get an education. With easy access to a fresh water generator, the daily time spent collecting water would be drastically reduced, and women and girls could go to school while still providing their families with fresh water for drinking, cooking and cleaning.

Business

With all that extra time, community members can also focus on their businesses. All communities thrive on some kind of small business, and without the added stress and time spent transporting water, business owners can grow, develop and improve their services.

Aldelano’s Fresh Water Generator is Changing Lives

Here at Aldelano, we are well aware of the many ways access to fresh water can transform lives because we’ve seen it with our own eyes! That’s why we created the Solar WaterMaker. This fresh water generator can be combined and used in conjunction with the Solar ColdBox to provide off-grid communities with mobile, solar-powered cold storage and pure, drinkable water.
