Drinking Water
The AquaTower’s water filtration system removes pathogens including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasitic worms, viruses, and other contaminates greater than 0.01 micron in size to produce clean, safe drinking water for school children.
Handwashing
Integrated into the base of every AquaTower are handwashing stations with integrated soap dispensers that provide the recipient school with a key facility for students to use on a daily basis. Handwashing awareness and best practices are also reinforced through educational messaging on banners attached to the AquaTower.

Water-Health and
Hygiene Education
Planet Water implements our water-health and hygiene education program in each school where we deploy our AquaTower. Through training the school teachers on the four-module program, they can successfully implement it into their classrooms in the days and weeks following the project. In addition to training the teachers, we also conduct water-health and hygiene games and activities with the students in the classroom.
Students learn about germs and how they spread, how and when to wash their hands, the importance of practicing healthy hygiene habits, and how to make healthy food choices to have a healthy body and a healthy mind through a hands-on, activity-based program which incorporates games, drama, song, and storytelling.
