About AguaClara: 

fEgVRyJr.pngAguaClara LLC designs gravity- powered water treatment plants for low- income communities around the world.  Centralized water treatment can be complex, costly, and—for the 1.3 billion people living with little or no electricity— practically impossible.  

After over two years of work, we successfully implemented our first small- scale treatment plants across four small villages in Jharkhand, India. These projects have led to over 2, 000 residents gaining access to safe water on tap. 

AguaClara LLC is a Certified B Corporation, which is a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. AguaClara LLC was certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.  

We constantly evaluate how our practices impact our employees, our community, the environment, and our customers.  We also have a commitment to being open source— sharing our learnings with others so that we all can benefit from it.
