  2. Issue We Are Addressing • Lack of clean drinking water in Africa • Specifically Zambia and Tanzania • Takes hours to gather water that isn’t even clean • Women and children mainly collect the water • Unclean drinking water causes numerous problems • Illness, poverty, struggling economy

  3. Our Idea • Provide clean water to people • Partnerships to help us • Zambikes, IDEO • What it is: • Water filter system utilizing bicycles and an attachable cart that filters water as the rider pedals

  4. How the Filter Mechanically Works • The filter works by engaging as the rider pedals • a pump that is attached to the pedal crank will draw water from the dirty container into the clean tank. • The clutch will engage and disengage the drive belt from the pedal crank. This will enable the rider to filter the water either while traveling or by being stationary. • The clean tank is removable for drinking.

  5. Who Will Benefit? • Residents • Women, children main beneficiaries • Men will be healthier, can work longer • Economy • Healthier workers, more buying power because we will create jobs

  6. Financials • Partner with Zambikes • Avoid overhead costs and startup costs • Have local knowledge and rapport • About $50 for materials • Pump, water filter, other items • Employ locals
