A big heartfelt thank you to Noël van Bemmel for mentioning Nazava Water Filters in the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant as one of the solutions to provide safe drinking water presented at the World Water Forum in Bali last week. The article is titled: "Picking plastic whilst the waste keeps coming" and it highlights the great work done by Gary Bencheghib and his team at Sungai Watch to keep Bali's rivers clean of plastic waste. The article also mentions the work done by the Netherlands Water Envoy Meike van Ginneken and the #WaterActionAgenda. Last but not least Nazava Water Filters is mentioned along with Royal HaskoningDHV as one of the other Dutch solutions presented at the World Water Forum.

Nazava Water Filters would like to invite you to our last session at the 10th World Water Forum T2C3: Self-supply and market based solutions for safe drinking water access in lower income communities. 📅 Thursday, May 23rd from 16:40-18:10 WITA 📍 BNDCC 1, Mezzanine floor, Kintamani 1 Water is often thought of as a public good. Therefore, it makes sense that public institutions should pick up the bill to provide water and sanitation to their residents. However, public institutions tend to focus on large infrastructure projects that are too expensive to build and maintain, and too slow moving to achieve universal drinking water access by 2030, especially in peri-urban and rural areas. As a result, household self-supply has become the primary source of water for over a billion people worldwide. Hear from our experts Lieselotte Heederik, Tim Foster, Cindy R. Priadi-Kamal, Arthur Baker, Nur Aisyah Nasution, Hanh Nguyen, Amandine Muret and Aldi Surianingrat about the dynamic role of market-based solutions in revolutionizing water provision. Rather than relying on central utilities, decentralized solutions are rapidly accelerating progress towards SDG 6. 💡 Session highlights: 1. Discover how market-based solutions can drive innovation, foster local entrepreneurship and reduce costs, making safe water accessible to underserved communities. 2. Learn from industry experts and thought leaders about impactful public-private partnership and innovative business models. 3. Hear real-world success stories showcasing the potential of household self-supply and market-driven approaches to create scalable, lasting impacts. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a movement driving positive change.

Nazava Water Filters would like to welcome you to another session at the 10th World Water Forum Decentralized solutions for microbial and fluoride removal for point of use in rural communities. 📅 Wednesday, May 22nd from 15:30-16:00 WITA 📍 Netherlands Pavilion (booth no. ND 10) ☁ Presented by Marleen Ophorst Globally, 4.4 billion people rely on untreated water sources contaminated with bacteria, viruses and pollutants, leading to waterborne diseases like diarrhea. Additionally, 200 million individuals primarily in India and East Africa, suffer from fluoride contamination, resulting in dental and skeletal fluorosis. Despite industrial-level solutions, affordable techniques for households capable of removing fluoride and bacteria simultaneously are lacking. Join us at the 10th World Water Forum in Bali for a session highlighting current developments and possibilities for combined fluoride and bacteria removal at the household level in rural areas. 💡 Session highlights: 1. Explore the health impacts of fluoride contamination and waterborne diseases. 2. Elaborate on integrating a fluoride removal component into household water filters. 3. Discuss strategies for raising awareness among communities about the importance of fluoride removal. 4. Discuss steps forward and potential scaling of the solution. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to addressing water contamination challenges at the household level. See you there! #10thWWF #water #innovation #sdgs

Nazava Water Filters would be happy to welcome you to our first session at the 10th World Water Forum: Increasing access to safe drinking water for lower-income rural households through schools and MFIs in Indonesia. 📅 Tuesday, May 21st from 17:15-18:15 WITA 📍 NL Pavilion (booth no.

Water filter provision in rural primary schools: learn about our sustainable model, combining donations, rent-to-own and carbon credit offsets. 2. Promotion of household water filter adoption: explore our partnership with micro finance institutes to make filters accessible to parents.
