Décrivez votre projet :
IRIBA Water Group developed Tap&Drink innovation a solution that provides affordable safe drinking water to low-income people in urban and peri-urban communities and to children in schools. We achieve that by installing state-of-the-art water ATMs that purify and dispense safe water in both communities and schools. These smart devices are solar-powered, and they have inbuilt water purification systems known as Reverse Osmosis and Ultraviolet water purification systems as well as an IoT enabled vending system which facilitates remote and automatic control of the water ATM operations. IRIBA water is collected using reusable water containers making it more climate-smart and 70% cheaper than bottled and sachets water, allowing poor people to afford it. The water ATMs are managed by youth aged 18-30 years of which 85% are women who operate them as their own businesses through a franchise model, creating jobs for economic development. To date, in CAR, we serve 13,350 people with safe drinking water every day, we have created 16 jobs and we are avoiding millions of plastic waste to be dumped in the environment through our reusable container approach. On top of that, we are inspiring a positive behavior change in the communities we serve.
