Every day, Aquagear customers help save lives with filtered water.

The Aquagear Foundation seeks to provide water relief to the nearly 2 billion people who still lack access to safe, clean drinking water. By using biosand filter technology, we are able to provide water to those who need it most.

We build biosand filters.

We are committed to using the most proven and practical filter technology. The Aquagear Foundation filter uses biosand, which removes bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Families simply pour dirty water into the top of the filter, and clean drinking water is dispensed.

All of the materials needed to make biosand filters are locally available. Additionally, they are simple to use and to maintain for the families who rely on them for healthy drinking water.

We hand them out in rural Tanzania.

Sub-saharan Africa has the largest number of water-stressed countries on the planet.

Of the estimated 800 million people who live in Africa, 300 million people live in an area that suffers from clean water scarcity. Sadly, many are women and children, and the lack of clean water contributes to one of the highest mortality rates in the world.
