A gift that matters

For Christmas 2012 Solvatten and Fair Unlimited offered a special corporate gift. The aim was to give others access to safe water, whilst being mindful of the scarcity of safe water in the world and of the value of the clean water we have in Sweden. The gift was a carafe manufactured from recycled materials by a Fair Trade company in Bolivia.

Thanks to Fair Unlimited for the initiative to market and sell this gift to Swedish Film (SF) and many other companies!

As Solvatten provides safe and warm water it will improve health, save time, money and firewood. Solvatten contributes to the realisation of the UN Millenium Development Goals.

Prosales links corporate responsibility with sales competence

A challenge for all social innovations is finding the quickest route to financial sustainability. In the developing world one way to facilitate sales is by combining subsidies with micro-savings. The Swedish company Prosales was attracted by this solution and identified an opportunity to link their core activity - developing sales competence - with a Solvatten project which provides education and supports savings groups. 

This project enabled representatives from the Kenyan organization KOWLF to market and sell Solvatten through solidarity savings groups in Mwingi and Mombasa in Kenya. A Prosales representative met with the Kenyan sales team to exchange ideas on how to sell new groundbreaking technology. Thanks to Prosales, Solvatten now reaches hundreds of families in Kenya!

Middagsfrid purchase enables CO2 reductions

Approximately 5 000 people have benefited as they now have a tool to use sunlight to heat water and reduce their use of enviromentally-damaging fuels. And at the same time the project enabled Middagsfrid to compensate for their carbon emissions for a year. The collaboration between Solvatten AB, Tricorona and Middagsfrid demonstrated carbon offsetting in a way that significantly improves lives and the local environment – what better way to do this?

Thanks to Middagsfrid and partners who developed and participated in this initiative!

Sweden’s most prestigious department store, NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) hosted an event for Solvatten in 2011. Rum:117 brought together a bottle manufacture, an NGO and Solvatten. For three months these specially-designed glass water bottles were on sale in NK Stockholm and Gothenburg, with all the proceeds funding Solvatten units for Vi Agroforestry, Bungoma.

Web campaigns to help vulnerable families in Kenya

In 2012 Soo Lin made Solvatten the target for her very own birthday campaign. Turning twenty two is a big thing and Soo Lin built a website to fund-raise for Solvatten. In a short time she raised more than 1650 €. Happy birthday Soo Lin and thank you for bringing more Solvatten to the world!

Hanna Bronfman from US and Cathrine Linder, Sweden have also marketed their brands in web-campaigns whose proceeds are financing the production and distribution of Solvatten.

Web campaigning continues to grow. It’s easier than ever to contribute to a good cause.

More web campaigns generating Solvatten

The Swedish Telge Energy company launched their web campaign just before Christmas 2012, asking customers and visitors to their website to vote for the best charitable initiative. They received more than 3000 votes. Thanks to all the recognition we can now ship more Solvatten to where they do most good, in the hands of families without access to safe water.

A UN Habitat collaboration for women in Nepal

In 2009 Solvatten units were distributed in Nepal for an implementation study in conjunction with UN-Habitat and ENPHO. The units were distributed to households, schools and community health centres and the users were trained by community mobilisers. Interviews with users were conducted for research and to increase understanding for future distribution of Solvatten in developing countries.

Thanks to Pond AB who supported this project, one of our very first sponsors!
