SAFE Water Now is a U.S. non-profit providing expertise, services, and resources to solve the problem of unsafe drinking water in Tanzania.

SWaN's manufacturing partner in Arusha, Tanzania produces a high quality, yet affordable, household ceramic water filter.  At a purchase price of only $40 USD, the filter produces sufficient safe drinking water for a family for 5 years.

Although filters are affordable for many, donations allow filters to be delivered to the most charitable class, usually women and children.  In this case, filters are delivered along with water and hygiene educational workshops.

Introducing a new and effective household water treatment to Tanzania also provides economic opportunities for the people of Tanzania.   New jobs are created in manufacturing, sales, education, and transportation.

Headquartered in Atlanta since 2010, SAFE Water Now is an all-volunteer organization committed to saving lives by providing a sustainable solution to the safe water problem in East Africa.
