MEASURING IMPACT
WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE PAST 30 DAYS

AUGUST 2024

Gravity Water teams work hard to bring clean water access to schools and communities around the world. Over the past 30 days, we positively impacted the lives of 18,909 students and community members by providing them with clean water access at 29 new schools in Nepal, Vietnam, Malysia, and Taiwan.

Impact Video in Nepal

Nepal is at high risk of long-term water scarcity. Gravity Water is working with local and international stakeholders to bring rainwater harvesting and filtration to every school in the Kathmandu Valley by 2030, helping strengthen climate resilience for the next generation of Nepal.

Where We Operate

Gravity Water currently focuses its efforts in the Asia-Pacific Region, with established operations in Nepal and Vietnam. Over the next six months, Gravity Water is expanding pilots to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia through corporate support.

Water security for schools

The Challenge

​

Today, billions of people lack access to a safe and reliable source of water. Climate change is making this challenge an up-hill battle, reducing water security and safe water access for urban cities, last-mile communities, and everywhere in between.

Our Impact

Our Impact​

 

Gravity Water's intervention helps schools keep water in the ground and provide safe drinking water to students for under $1 per child per year. Gravity Water is currently scaling its impact to benefit public infrastructure throughout the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on at-risk communities.

The Solution​

​

As water patterns become less reliable and dependency on water increases, finding ways to keep water in the ground is critical. Gravity Water believes the solution is found in using rain as an integrated practice of daily life and a common water source for rural and urban areas.

The Future​

 

Gravity Water is currently transitioning from a singular focus on safe drinking water at schools to a holistic focus on water security for all public and private infrastructure. Gravity Water is working on a moonshot to bring rainwater harvesting to one million structures by 2030 through a collaborative funding model. 

Our Technology and Approach

Gravity Water focuses on a low-technology approach to safe and sustainable water access through combining rainwater harvesting, elevated storage, and gravity-fed filtration.

Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater Harvesting

On average, our projects provide schools with enough rain to fulfill over 50% of their water demand each year.

Water filtration System

Sustainable Treatment

Our treatment technology removes taste, odor, metals, chemicals, parasities, and >99.9% of viruses and pathogens that cause water-related illness.

Water-loss Reduction

Water-loss Reduction

Gravity Water helps schools operate more efficiently by centralizing their water system and providing water conservation tools.

Collaborative Data Collection

Collaborative Data Collection

Transparent data collection, monitoring, and reporting, allowing continuous insight on the effectiveness of the organization's solution. 

Support Our Work

Gravity Water's technology can provide safe drinking water to a child in need for less than $1 per child per year, over a 12-year period. This includes a one-time $8 per child cost to install a Gravity Water system, and a $0.20 per child per year ($50-$60 per school per year) recurring cost for filter replacements and maintenance.
