•Avoid the irreversible effects of stunted growth in children

*Less than $1 / person in 2015, and expected to be less than $0.50 / person / year by 201.1.04 DALYs averted per dispenser per year, and the 10-year NPV of the program translate to $61/DALY/yr. DALY = Disability Adjusted Life Year, or the number of life years lost due to ill health, disability, or early death.

Financial sustainability by 2018

• Water purification with chlorine is a substitute for boiling, making it eligible for carbon financing

• We generate audited carbon credits that can fund OPEX, only requiring up-front funding for the initial two years of a dispenser lifecycle


10

Financial Sustainability

•We currently have a portfolio of 527136 VERs per annum (in Kenya) and 100,000 GS CERs (in Uganda) per annum registered with Gold Standard and CDM

•In Uganda we have capacity for 250,000 CERS per annum

•Developing the capacity for 500,000 CERs per annum (ongoing) in Malawi and Kenya.

•Agreement in place with the Climate Cent Fund to purchase 2,000,000 CERs worth ~ 13 million Euros from Malawi and Kenya
