Our HIGHLIGHTS
Built for villages others don’t reach
Most rural hamlets are too small or too remote for piped systems and commercial bottled water. Spring Health operates where these systems fail.
Affordable and reliable
Families receive treated drinking water daily at prices designed for rural incomes without seasonal shortages.
Delivered to the doorstep
Water is treated locally and delivered to homes before 11 a.m., reducing time spent fetching water.
Locally owned, locally run
Village entrepreneurs operate kiosks and delivery routes, creating income and accountability within the community.
MISSION SUMMARY
Our mission is to provide safe drinking water to 100 million rural customers through financially sustainable, locally owned water businesses. Spring Health has been working since 2011 to create trusted systems that improve health, lower household costs, and strengthen rural livelihoods without relying on fragile infrastructure or subsidies.
HOW THE MODEL WORKS
This 4-stage process of the decentralized model keeps costs low, maintains quality control, and allows rapid scaling across villages.
