Tuk Tuk Cargo Water Filtration System: Mobile Off-grid Water Filtration for Communities in Kenya, Phase 2

About this project

This project develops a locally produced, solar-powered mobile water purification unit: the Tuk Tuk Cargo Water Filtration System. Using reverse osmosis, it provides clean drinking water and basic electricity to remote communities around Lake Turkana. Its mobile design allows it to serve multiple villages, respond quickly to emergencies, and relocate when needs change. With lower investment costs than fixed systems, and easy transport and operation by local users, it offers a scalable and sustainable solution. The system aims to improve health and boost local economic prospects. A short video of the first field test in Lake Turkana is available in the Media Library.
