SPOUTS of Water manufactures, markets and sells affordable ceramic water filters using local materials and employing local labour. The enterprise targets all socioeconomic classes in Uganda – from those who rely on expensive bottled water and those who boil their water, to the lowest-income 30% who usually consume untreated water.

SPOUTS takes advantage of numerous existing networks, such as savings groups and microfinance institutions, to deliver safe water across the entire market. It fills a void where other water treatment methods have failed to maintain sustainable production and cultural longevity.
