Sustainable water systems
b.waterMISSION
With any donation you can make a difference.
We invite you to invest together with us in b.water, a project of AQUA Pearls For You and Planet Blue*, delivering
sustainable water systems to 10 villages in Gambia. An innovative business
model to improve market access to clean water, reducing the cost of delivering
services and providing a small commercial return. b.water has been laying the groundwork for installations in rural locations
to deliver sustainable, accountable and maintable water systems. The growth
and commercial success of b.water's programmes result in significant social
benefits for the evolving global water market serving low income communities.
In order to help these communities we want to set up as many dispensers as
possible. One dispenser costs approximately € 7000.

“Before the tap was only open at 9am to 12pm and in the evening also 5-6pm. It was so difficult for us, honestly. It’s so perfect now, because anytime you need water you can get it, even at midnight.”
Asanatou Mballow, Female Villager, Jarreng
How it works
The b.waterMISSION tap is a pre-payment smart tap that ensures all revenue is tracked and accountable and transparently used by private organisations or governments to pay for maintenance of systems.
The b.waterMISSION tap is implemented with the technology of eWaterPay Limited, UK.

Why b.waterMISSION?
With any donation you can make the difference.
b.waterMISSION is a project in Gambia to disrupt the existing model by supplying sustainable water.
According to the UN‘s institute for Water, Environment and Health, by 2030 the global demand for water is expected to grow by 50%.
Water that is fit for human consumption is a highly limited resource that is under pressure from mismanagement and environmental change, but it will need to support a global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
Benefits of clean water:
- Improved overall health of vulnerable communities.
- Reduction in the rate of girls not participating in education due to their role as water collectors.
- Reduction in fatal waterborne diseases.
Benefits of a sustainable water system:
- Less water wastage and accessibility 24/7.
- Reduced time and distances currently endured by walking to remote water sources and queues.
- Increased economy through creation of a water market.
"I can trust what I drink now is not going to make me sick and water is there for me anytime."
Ida Minteh, Female Villager, Jalambereh
