The Facts

-A person needs 20 – 50 litres of water per day for basic needs.

-41% of Kenya’s population are without access to safe drinking water: it is unfairly distributed with priority given to planned urban areas that can pay for water services, so those in slums and remote villages often go without this important commodity.

-Over 10,000 children die every year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Kenya.

-Globally, diarrhoea is the leading cause of illness and death, and 88% of those deaths are due to an inadequate supply of water for hygiene and drinking purposes.

Help us save a family or community from the dangers of dirty water

Maji Zima, meaning “ Water is Life”, is a Kenyan based Not for Profit Company with the primary aim of providing safe drinking water to those who need it in the country. Using advanced microfilter technology to treat biologically contaminated water, Maji Zima will work with local partners to deliver water filtration where no other solution exists.

The Aquafilter is a UK designed microfilter developed in North East England to treat contaminated water direct from rivers, wells, ponds, lakes and other local water storage areas. It is simple to use, light but strong, and the water is pumped by hand so there is no need for a power supply. It currently provides clean water to families and communities living in areas of the world where water is unsafe to drink.

Maji Zima has joined with The Safe Water Trust Ltd. to produce two types of Aquafilter for people in need across Kenya.
