Bazma primary school
Kebili
Kumulus machines are making a significant impact by providing safe drinking water to the primary school in Bazma, Kebili, South Tunisia, where students previously faced a critical shortage of clean water and health risks from untreated sources. With the installation of four machines, over 150 students and staff now have access to a reliable and clean water supply on campus. This solution effectively combats waterborne diseases, promoting the well-being and academic success of the school community while creating a healthier learning environment. Supported by Sanofi's sponsorship, the project highlights the transformative potential of Kumulus technology in regions with limited access to safe water.
The installation of Kumulus machines helps reduce waterborne diseases by providing clean drinking water, decreasing reliance on contaminated sources, and preserving local water resources. Access to clean water also lowers healthcare costs associated with treating waterborne illnesses and reduces the need for expensive water infrastructure in the region. Additionally, the Kumulus machine is expected to prevent 0.5 tonnes of plastic and 2 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, while reducing bottled water budgets by 20 to 50%.
Kumulus machines produce drinking water from solar energy and air. The phenomenon of dew is imitated in the process of creating water. To this technology are added several integrated systems that improve the capacity of the systems, as well as predictive algorithms to allow the machines to be "smarter" and controllable remotely from anywhere in the world. The idea is to allow companies, factories, hotels and offices to have their own source of clean and sustainable water (reducing the use of plastic bottles as well as the pollution and logistics associated with it) . It also allows a large part of the population to have access to a source of safe drinking water and to have the autonomy to produce their own drinking water. Our main region of intervention includes the MENA region, Southern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
