Vision:
Water is the source of prosperity. Conversely, water scarcity is one of the most serious problems facing humans in the world today.
At AQUAVERA, we believe that clean drinking water should be free to everyone on the planet. Access to water is essential to breaking the cycles of poverty, diseases, and malnourishment. In the last decade, new “air-to-water“ technology platforms offer an innovative solution to bring this vision to life.
Mission:
The AQUAVERA Foundation, an international non-profit humanitarian organization based in Paris, was created in 2021 with a catalytic mission to accelerate access to free, drinkable water to everyone, everywhere on the planet thanks to innovative “air-to-water“ technology.
Approach:
In the last decade, new technologies to generate water from the air are multiplying in availability. Around the world, too many communities don’t have access to reliable and clean sources of drinking water. The AQUAVERA foundation exists to help bridge the gap, identifying local communities with the need for improved water sources, working with partners to provide a suitable “air-to-water“ solution for the specific context, and working with the community to ensure a sustainable and free source of water.
AQUAVERA exists to provide a bridge between communities and “air-to-water“ manufacturers. Our manufacturer-agnostic and community-led approach means that we partner with the local community at every stage of the process to identify the needs and build the capacity to manage and sustain a clean source of water from the air.
By leveraging the global creative and business networks of its founding team, AQUAVERA will demonstrate the potential of this transformative technology, create economies of scale, and help communities leapfrog to access safe and reliable sources of clean drinking water.
For Communities:
Around the world, there are big number of communities in need of safe and reliable drinking water. AQUAVERA will partner with communities who are ready to establish a collaborative partnership to provide local management and maintenance of the selected “air-to-water“ platform and to ensure that the water remains free of charge. For each new water project we embark on, we endeavour to find and select the most appropriate quality “air-to-water“ supplier for the context and criteria of that specific water project. We are agnostic in our selections but will scrupulously verify the quality and maintenance standards.
For Manufacturers:
For “air-to-water“ manufacturers, AQUAVERA provides unparalleled opportunities for visibility and original creative content. This is what will allow us to broker relationships between manufacturers and communities and establish projects which have never been done before.
We expect to learn by doing and will adapt and evolve our approach to ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of AQUAVERA programs for years to come.
