Sustainable water
for a net zero future

Why offset carbon with eWATER?

eWATER’s carbon offset credits are unique due to their transparent digital management system.

eWATER’s projects prevent deforestation in Africa, which currently causes the loss of 1.6 million hectares of forest and the release of 786 million tones of CO2 annually (ScienceDirect Vol 207 Jan 2025). Our work yields greater and faster net benefits than projects that focus on growing new forests because we prioritise preserving existing forests, conserving biodiversity, safeguarding watersheds, and mitigating soil degradation and crop failure.

High impact carbon credits

These credits do more than cut emissions – they deliver clean water, protect health, transform women’s lives, support education, and unlock economic opportunity. eWATER’s carbon credits provide additional quantifiable benefits for five of The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Offset credits only
matter if they’re credible

500 million people in rural Africa cannot access clean water. They collect water from filthy rivers and open wells, and then strip forests for firewood to boil the water, however this does not eliminate all contaminants, and waterborne diseases impact their lives constantly.

“eWATER provides a higher level of accuracy and transparency than other carbon offset programs in developing countries that rely on error-prone paper records and unreliable manual survey”

Decent Work and

  • Growth in local businesses including new cafes, butchers, maize milling & market stalls.
  • Additional 50 new businesses created in The Gambia led by women no longer spending time fetching water and firewood.
  • Clean water available 24/7 means more productive family members and quantifiable reductions in days missing work and school because of illness.

Protecting forests
& reducing emissions

  • Our systems reduce the need to boil dirty water, protecting trees from being cut for firewood, and lowering household emissions.
  • 99% reduction in water wastage: when customers pay for water, they value it so no taps left on.
  • Reduction in single use plastic bottles consumption; across rural Africa plastic bags and bottles of water litter the landscape, because families know when they get sick they have to spend vital cash buying expensive water from local shops.
  • All eWATER’s systems use solar power to pump the water from the borehole, and to power the eWATERtaps and the eWATERsense – no more diesel generators, which need constant maintenance and are expensive and polluting to operate.

Quality Education

  • eWATER actively prioritizes the installation of smart taps in schools and learning institutions across our countries of operation
  • Students don’t have to spend time leaving school grounds to fetch contaminated water, contributing to more learning hours.
  • On average girls would miss 6 days a month from cutting down trees for firewood and walking long distances to fetch water from contaminated sources

Clean Water Matters

  • eWATER is responsible for safely chlorinating all its managed systems, and monitors water quality constantly.
  • Each year, around 500,000 children under 5 die from diarrhea, making it the third leading cause of death in this age group.
  • “Cutting the walking time to a water source by just 15 minutes can reduce under-five mortality of children by 11%, and slash the prevalence of nutrition-depleting diarrhea by 41%” Stanford Environment Institute

Clean Water
and Sanitation

  • 10 years of uninterrupted supply with 24/7 access to clean, safe and drinkable water.
  • Water costs as little as $5 per person per year. To put this into perspective, people pay on average $100 per year for kerosene and $30 for mobile phones per year.
  • Easy to buy: Customers purchase pay as you go credit from mobile money providers like M-Pesa, or a local shop-keeper. Anyone with a basic phone and mobile money can buy credit for others too.
