What the Project Is
What a bird GmbH introduces an innovative and robust water filter that transforms almost any canister into a convenient water dispenser. SIMPLE. CLEAN. WATER – this is the promise of a solution created to clean and purify drinking water for people who transport and store their daily water in canisters. The concept is straightforward and effective: contaminated water is pumped from the canister, simultaneously microbiologically treated, and then becomes safe to drink immediately. It is a system designed to work without the need for any special installation, chemicals, or even electricity. This approach ensures that water is purified at once – no waiting times, no fuss.
Main Benefit
Key figures and facts:
- Removes 99.9% of bacteria including cholera, E. coli, and typhus – even cloudy water becomes clear.
- Cost-effective and easy to use with simple on-site maintenance.
- No electricity, chemicals, or special installations needed.
- Perfect for canisters, ensuring immediate purification of water.
- Supports decentralized water treatment for both home use and on the go.
Innovative Water Treatment for Canisters
The What a bird water filter for canisters is a breakthrough in water treatment technology. By simply attaching the filter to any standard canister, contaminated water can be instantly pumped and thoroughly cleansed. The integrated filter employs an activated carbon filter option in the What a bird +PLUS version for even better quality. This portable solution transforms everyday routines by making hydration safe and hassle-free in areas where access to clean water might be limited. It removes bacteria and turbidity without any extra energy source – a truly remarkable engineering feat that brings the benefits of modern water treatment directly to the user.
Community Collaboration and Network
The project is dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of poor drinking water quality, particularly across several regions in Africa. The What a bird GmbH team consists of passionate professionals who work hand in hand with local communities and NGOs to provide immediate, affordable access to safe water. Through years of experience in developing water filter systems and understanding local conditions, the network has refined the design to meet the real-life needs of people. This collaborative approach ensures that the water filter is not just a product, but a sustainable solution that enhances the quality of life. It is a genuine partnership that prioritizes health, accessibility, and sustainable development.
Water Situation in Africa
Access to clean water is a basic human necessity that remains a challenge for many communities in Africa. In many areas, people must travel long distances to reach a natural water source. Yet, even available water is often loaded with bacteria, viruses, and numerous pollutants. Drinking water filters like What a bird offer an immediate solution, reducing the risks of waterborne illnesses such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhus. Especially for children, the elderly, and immuno-compromised individuals, having access to safe water means a reduction in health hazards and an improved overall quality of life. This system works right away – with a simple pump action, it cleans the water instantly… ensuring that every drop is more than just water; it becomes a lifeline.
Advantages of This Drinking Water Filter
The effectiveness of the What a bird water filter lies in its many advantages that streamline the process of water purification. It is designed to be attached easily to canisters, requiring no power source or elaborate installation processes. Maintenance is simple and can be performed directly on site even without professional help. The filter is engineered to be long-lasting, ensuring that its benefits persist for years without frequent replacements. By offering an immediate and affordable solution for clean water, the project not only minimizes the spread of diseases but also contributes significantly to the broader improvement of living conditions in challenging environments. This reliability and ease of use make the device a smart, practical choice for daily water needs.
Project Impact
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being – by drastically reducing waterborne diseases.
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – ensuring immediate availability of safe drinking water.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – through the application of innovative water treatment technology.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – by working closely with local communities and partner organizations.
Looking Toward a Better Future
The What a bird project is a testament to the power of innovative technology combined with a commitment to social responsibility. It provides a practical solution for people who depend on canisters to store and transport drinking water by transforming their everyday water into a safe, clean resource. The ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and non-reliance on external utilities make this system ideally suited for remote and rural areas, where clean water can be scarce. Through its integration with local community networks and ongoing collaboration with NGOs, the initiative continues to adapt and meet the evolving needs of the people it serves – paving the way for a future in which access to clean water is a certainty, rather than a challenge… a future built on care, innovation, and sustainable development.
