The impact has been remarkable. Approximately 140,000 households—around 770,000 people—now use Solvatten daily. Each unit provides approximately 42,000 litres of safe water over its lifetime.Waterborne diseases have declined. Cases of diarrhoea and other preventable illnesses have been reduced. Children attend school more consistently because they are healthier. Indoor air pollution has dropped as families no longer burn large quantities of firewood to boil water.Each Solvatten kit saves an average of 657 hours per year—time once spent collecting fuel and boiling water. For women especially, this means hundreds of regained hours for education, income generation, family care, or rest.The environmental benefits are equally powerful. Each unit avoids about 1.7 tons of fuel use annually and saves roughly 1 ton of CO₂ emissions per year. Reduced firewood demand eases pressure on forests, while approximately 6,000 litres of cleaner water per unit per year reduces contaminants entering rivers and shallow wells.If implemented broadly, the initiative reports the potential to avoid approximately 140,000 tons of fossil-based CO₂ emissions annually.
