Clean Water. Safer Communities. Healthier Lives.
In informal settlements, access to clean and safe water is not just a health necessity—it’s a matter of survival and dignity. Neftaly is leading the way in delivering affordable, community-friendly water purification and management systems that address the urgent challenges of waterborne diseases, contaminated sources, and unsafe water storage practices.
The Water Crisis in Informal Settlements
Millions of people in informal settlements face:
- Limited or no access to piped water
- Contaminated groundwater or surface water
- Unsafe water collection and storage methods
- Outbreaks of cholera, typhoid, and diarrheal diseases
- Water insecurity that disproportionately affects women and children
Neftaly’s innovative solutions are designed to bridge the gap—bringing clean, safe, and sustainable water access to those most at risk.
Our Solution: Innovation That Starts with Safety
Neftaly delivers holistic water solutions that address quality, access, and management, using technologies tailored to the realities of informal environments.
???? 1. Portable and Household-Level Water Purification Units
We deploy affordable, low-maintenance systems such as:
- Solar-powered UV purification kits
- Gravity-fed ceramic and biosand filters
- Chlorine dispensers at communal taps
These systems eliminate up to 99.9% of pathogens, making water safe for drinking, cooking, and hygiene.
???? 2. Community Water Stations with Smart Dispensing
Our modular water kiosks:
- Use solar-powered pumps and filtration
- Include prepaid smart card systems for equitable access
- Are managed by local youth and cooperatives, creating jobs
These hubs provide a sustainable water source while building community ownership.
???? 3. Rainwater Harvesting and Greywater Recycling
We support households and schools with systems to:
- Collect and store rainwater from rooftops
- Treat and reuse greywater for gardens or flushing
- Improve water availability and reduce dependency on overburdened municipal sources
These methods increase resilience during droughts or service disruptions.
Integrated with Safety and Health Programs
Clean water reduces disease—but our approach goes further to build safe, water-smart communities:
- Training households on safe water handling and storage
- Establishing early-warning systems for water contamination
- Integrating water systems with sanitation and hygiene (WASH) education
- Fire prevention through access to safe water storage
Proven Results
- Over 15,000 people accessing safe water through Neftaly projects
- 80% reduction in waterborne illness in pilot communities
- Over 300 women and youth trained as water stewards and technicians
- Reduced water conflicts and theft through smart management tools
Affordable. Scalable. Community-Owned.
Our water purification and management systems are:
✅ Off-grid and low-tech – ideal for unserviced settlements
✅ Modular and adaptable – from single homes to entire blocks
✅ Backed by community participation – from planning to maintenance
✅ Designed for resilience – to withstand climate shocks and infrastructure failures
