Jal Setu · a bridge to water
A water filter that costs almost nothing and needs no electricity — built inside something rural India already owns and trusts: the matka. Our goal: clean drinking water in 15,000+ homes.
The choice no one should have to make
Imagine earning $5 a day — and it isn't enough for both food and clean water. Which do you choose, and what do you go without? India has 1.47 billion people. If you are born here, there is roughly a 54% chance your drinking water comes straight from the ground, untested and untreated.
Nearly a billion Indians live in rural areas — and about 85% of them depend on groundwater to drink.
The estimated annual toll in India because safe drinking water is out of reach.
A Jal Setu unit is built into a matka most families already have — no machine, no power bill, no new habit.
homes we're bringing clean drinking water to — starting where the water hits hardest.
We are not trying to build another water filter. We are trying to make sure that where a person is born no longer decides whether the water they drink is safe.
