In Kibera slum, Nairobi, subsidised sales of Solvatten have begun. Under the guidance of the Institute of Environment and Water, 10 local CBOs (Community Based Organisations) are now selling units to their friends, family and neighbours. The units will be used to combat water-borne diseases and to help the community adapt to the effects of climate change. The social and environmental impact will be measured over the next year. Funding for the project is being provided by the Nordic Climate Facility.

Families in Bungoma, western Kenya, confirm that Solvatten is a sustainable solution since they have now been using their units for two years and the demand for wood-based fuels has decreased.
