Turning Surplus Assets into Water
|
|
We have adapted a well known
fundraising model to provide humanitarian relief to people in
developing areas. Our friends in the aviation and automation sectors
donate surplus and salvage hardware and software that we then sell on
existing marketplaces. The revenue is used to provide water and primary
lighting for those in need.
This unique business model serves our friends well
because it is doubly environmentally friendly and humanitarian. It is
doubly environmentally friendly, first because we take hardware that
would ultimately end up in landfill and second because our relief
solutions leverage renewable energy from the sun. Our solutions are
humanitarian by easing the demands of procuring safe water and
providing primary lighting solutions. While many people take water and
light for granted, some people are locked into an existence where the
day is consumed with searching for potable water and fuel for food
preparation. When night falls, there is no light to pursue education or
skills necessary to break the day-to-day cycle of survival.
