Enabling everyone to live in dignity
In many parts of the world, access to quality drinking water is limited due to contamination by bacteria, viruses, pathogens, chemicals or pollutants. Home filtration allows families to purify water at source, reducing the risk of water-borne diseases. It is an effective way of improving the health and living comfort of rural and isolated populations. What's more, self-sufficiency in clean water is the common denominator of hygiene conditions and a propensity for education, and fosters healthy social relations within a community. It is therefore essential to provide sustainable access to quality water.
More than 2 billion people still without access to drinking water
-
LACK OF DRINKING WATER
The lack of clean water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene compromises people's health, well-being and quality of life on a daily basis, and increases their vulnerability.
-
WATER-BORNE DISEASES
Contaminated water contributes to water-borne diseases, diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery and other intestinal infections, which have serious consequences: hospitalisation or death among children and vulnerable people.
-
UNSATISFACTORY HYGIENE
The lack of clean water limits personal hygiene, effective hand washing and the cleaning of food and cooking utensils, increasing the risk of contamination, disease and epidemics.
-
HEALTH HAZARD
The lack of drinking water and precarious sanitary conditions create an environment conducive to the proliferation of bacteria, viruses and parasites, and to the contamination of water, soil and food, thereby increasing health risks.

Accompanying your challenges concerning the water autonomy of populations
-
HEALTH EDUCATION
People isolated from water infrastructures and networks are deprived of continuous access to quality water. However, these populations are not always made aware of the dangers of unsafe water and the benefits of good hygiene practices. These are essential elements in tackling water-related problems.
-
BETTER WATER QUALITY
Filtration systems need to be able to treat various types of contaminants, to provide safe and healthy water for families. Our solutions offer high-performance filtration quality thanks to ultrafiltration, LOG 5 for viruses and LOG 8 for bacteria. They meet the highest water filtration standards set by international organisations.
-
AUTONOMY AND DIGNITY
Our water filtration equipment is self-sufficient, operating manually, without chemicals or electricity. They are therefore totally suited to home filtration by families living off the grid, providing them with safe access to healthy water. They adapt to people's lifestyles thanks to their mobility, which does not interrupt access to healthy water during transhumance.
-
SUSTAINABLE ACCESSIBILITY
One of the major challenges of water access programmes lies in a sustainable home filtration approach. Because water is vital, preserving people's health and freeing them from water-borne diseases requires alternative, autonomous solutions that enable the production of healthy water to be individualised over time. That's why our equipment is durable and repairable.

A sustainable solution for remote families
The rural context, particularly in areas not served by a drinking water network and dependent on turbid surface water sources, is ideal for the adoption of home treatment solutions. The positive impact on health resulting from effective water treatment is undeniable. Compared with other methods, ultrafiltration offers better health protection. This improvement in water quality is particularly crucial in already vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, the sick, young mothers and children, where poor-quality water could worsen existing health conditions, or even necessitate travel to health centres, thereby increasing the risk of weakening.
Continuous access to clean water
In all the situations evaluated, the use of the ORISA® purifier for on-site filtration proved to be a cost-effective option compared with traditional filtration methods at source. What's more, this solution offers additional protection against the risk of viral diseases.
By distributing this purifier to families, continuous access to safe, treated water is guaranteed. This is particularly beneficial in contexts where water access conditions may have deteriorated following the departure of a post-mission NGO, providing sustainable support beyond the refugee camp.
Adaptability for mobile populations
Portability is an essential criterion for offering a solution that is perfectly suited to nomadic populations. These communities, which are generally located near water points, have to deal with water that is often cloudy and of mediocre quality. They regularly transport equipment and are often sidelined by the authorities because of their linguistic peculiarities and their remoteness from urban areas. Long-term monitoring is a challenge common to all water filtration solutions, but opportunities exist thanks to the autonomous solutions with which these populations are equipped.
