People Planet SDG 3 SDG 6

A locally manufactured ceramic filtration system giving rural health clinics access to clean water without expensive imported equipment.

Many rural clinics across Uganda operate without reliable access to clean water, a gap that directly affects patient safety and infection control. AquaClear Filters are built from locally sourced ceramic media, assembled by a small manufacturing team in Kampala, and cost a fraction of imported filtration systems. Each unit is designed to be maintained by clinic staff with minimal training. The innovation has already been adopted by a growing number of rural clinics, each reporting a stable, safe water supply for the first time.
