NAZAVA

NAZAVA
Nazava is a social enterprise that aims to provide safe drinking water to everybody everywhere by selling their affordable and effective water filters. Nazava water filters purify water thereby protecting communities from water borne diseases.

The Story

Picture
PictureLisa with Nazava reseller
Lieselotte (Lisa) Heederik and Guido van Hofwegen moved to Indonesia from the Netherlands in 2007 in order to work with NGOs. They soon observed the large scale of water borne diseases, such as stunted growth and diarrhea, plaguing communities in Indonesia due to the lack of access to clean, safe water.

Lisa and Guido founded Nazava in 2009 to make clean drinking water accessible to everyone in Indonesia. Navaza sells easy to use filters that can purify well, tap, or rain water without electricity or boiling through a network of resellers, the majority of whom are women. The purified water is free of bacteria and ten times more affordable than buying or boiling water. The selling of Nazava Water Filters, therefore, effectively protects families from numerous water borne diseases while increasing the disposable income of women in the community.


The Impact

To date, Nazava has sold over 80,000 units, benefitting over 400,000 people, since 2009. Households using Nazava products save around US$ 100 annually. Therefore, Nazava has enabled households to save a total of US$10m. Nazava resellers, majority of whom are women, earn an additional monthly income of US$50. Nazava therefore increases the financial power of the women in the communities they work with. Nazava also works with the existing structure of women groups in rural indonesia to provide education and training on the  importance of safe drinking water and hygiene. Nazava aims to provide safe, affordable drinking water to 1 million rural Indonesians living on less than US$7 per day by 2020.
