Giving each of us the power to be resilient in the face of the water crisis
The ORISA® freshwater purifier has been designed in response to specifications drawn up with major French and international NGOs to provide a solution to this vital issue.
This helped to define strict water quality criteria and subsequently to obtain the "full protection *** (3/3)" award from the WHO' s Home Water Treatment Technology Assessment Programme . The Institut Pasteur has demonstrated through laboratory tests a performance of up to +99.999% (LOG 5) for viruses and +99.999999% (LOG 8) for bacteria and protozoa. Our water treatment equipment is reliable, easy to use and provides a high-performance solution for gaining autonomy and enabling sustainable, reasonable and shared use of water. Thanks to our autonomous freshwater treatment solutions, everyone can enjoy healthy water, free from microbiological contamination, while limiting the systematic use of tap water or unsafe water. This will enable them to meet their various needs: drinking, preparing food, washing hands, brushing teeth, etc. Deployed for humanitarian purposes since 2021, more than 22,000 ORISA® water purifiers are in daily use in 50 countries. It is estimated that more than 201,000 people are impacted by our solutions, living with greater dignity. Since 2020, we have seen an increase in demand from private individuals as a result of the Covid epidemic, which was exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and intensified by the drought in the summer of 2022. Since August 2022, more than 1,000 individuals with survivalist, farsighted, autonomous and nomadic profiles have purchased our water filtration equipment from our online shop and our network of resellers2

This commitment to humanitarian aid, in both extreme emergency and development situations, demonstrates the reliability of our equipment and its effectiveness in the fight against water-borne diseases throughout the world. The equipment can be used by humanitarian beneficiaries to enhance their dignity, or by private individuals in search of autonomy.
ORISA® production in France

This approach perfectly aligns our corporate vision with our responsibility to preserve our planet and its resources, because we are convinced that every gesture counts in the fight against climate change. Manufacturing the ORISA® water purifier in France creates significant value by encouraging local production and supporting the national economy. Thanks to this initiative, not only are jobs being maintained, but French know-how is also being promoted, reinforcing France's reputation for quality and expertise in the field of technology.
