Mozambique - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

It consists of creating a ceramic filter to treat water reducing said impurities there present.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

the ceramic filter is able to further help purify the water by having the water pass through very small pores, reducing the amounts of organic mater and other impurities present in the water. but the idea also entails using further aspects of treatment of water for the cases where the water condition is more precarious such as using activated charcoal, moringa oliferea and so. It is specifically for drinking water most certainly

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

In some, i dare say most parts of my country we still face a dilemma of clean water and that proves to be concerning, so the main problem would be to provide to the people clean and proper water for them to drink confidently and in not such a long time to purify.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

affordability- it is a product that is expected to be very affordable for purchase sustainability- it is sustainable as the materials are biodegradable non usage of chemicals/dangerous ones the pores are effective in removing harmful contaminants and bacteria leaving the beneficial minerals

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

it is most focused on the communities that still face issues of getting safe water to drink.
