DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

Vital Water Purifier is a social enterprise that distributes high-quality ceramic water filters to communities in rural Ethiopia.

The distribution model devised is to transport the water filters using cargo motorbikes within the pilot location, Aleta Chuko Woreda. When a household buys a water filter, we deliver the unit from our local store to their home using cargo motorbikes. The team’s unique quality is that they have lived and seen the life of typical rural families.

Vital water Purifier - Ethiopia is founded by Habteab Argaw, an aspiring social Entrepreneur. Habteab runs the startup as the project manager.

 

PILOT AND SCALING GOALS

  • Distribute 300 ceramic water filters during the pilot period

  • Raise an additional $3,000
