What We Do

Producing safe water first - but that's just a start

​

Clean drinking water is where we began, but as we've gained experience, we've learned that we need to pursue a more integrated design process. We want to field affordable local systems that can create what FDR described in 1941: "...a safe, healthy, stable, and fulfilling life, free from want and free from fear."

While we have supported the installation of clean water systems on several continents, we think we can do better at designing across all of the many sectors that can improve human security: Water, food, shelter, power, communication, transportation, education, governance, and more. We're leaning on a very broad network of smart friends and organizations to help, specifically including in our design processes those at most risk, and we're constantly looking for new ideas to test
.
 

Our efforts for 2023 through 2026 will be in Ukraine, the Marshall Islands, Chile, Mexico, Yemen, and the US, and we're interested in good ideas and new technologies still in the early stages of development. Our many indigenous partners like to learn, and we have the ability to test ideas in rigorous and remote venues with independent evaluators.

 

If you have something we should see, designed for low-resource communities at urgent risk from climate change, environmental degradation, involuntary displacement, resource shortfalls, or conflict, please get in touch.
