Access to clean, safe drinking water remains a pressing challenge for millions around the world. Recognizing this critical issue, GROSCHE has stepped up. After dealing with serious waterborne illness firsthand, Helmi and Mehreen decided to dedicate their lives to giving safe water to those in need. Founding GROSCHE in 2006 with visions of a social enterprise that could change the world. They use the profits from the sales of their products to fund the GROSCHE SAFE WATER PROJECT.
How They Give Back
When you buy a GROSCHE product, you’re funding 50+ days of safe drinking water for someone in need via the GROSCHE Safe Water Project.
The Safe Water Project (SWP) provides people in need with safe drinking water through the construction and installation of Biosand water filters. Made with local skills and materials, these water filters purify contaminated water without the use of chemicals, electricity, or any replacement cartridges. Made of cement or clay and only using gravel and sand to biologically purify water, so it's safe to drink.
These Biosand filters last up to 30 years, purifying water for a family of up to 10 people without any extra moving parts and requiring little to no maintenance.
Sustainable Development
GROSCHE’s approach to giving back is one of empowering sustainable development. The filters GROSCHE funds are locally made and serviced, with local materials, by local people. They install the filters with GROSCHE funds, as well as sell filters to those who can buy. This empowers GROSCHE’s teams to build skills, have a source of income, and gain sustainable employment that benefits those in need.
Where are GROSCHE’s projects located?
Biosand filters work in warm and temperate climates. Our Safe Water Projects and water filters are located in remote, mainly agricultural areas (with no access to electricity) in South Sudan, Uganda, Malawi, India, Pakistan, and The Philippines.
