♦  International Sustainability Projects

  • Haath Mein Sehat is Hindi for "Health in Hands." An estimated seven million people currently live in the slums of Mumbai, India. Residents of these underserved communities suffer from a high incidence of enteric dysentery largely in part to contaminated drinking water, poor hygiene habits, and a lack of adequate sanitation. In response, the HMS team has been working since the summer of 2004 to help improve livelihoods trough health education and appropriate, low-cost water treatment methods. HMS is an interdisciplinary, international collaboration between local organizations and institutions in Mumbai and students at the University of California, Berkeley.
  • UV Table developed as an effective and low-cost ultraviolet water disinfection system designed specifically for underserved communities. It started in 1999 as a partnership with the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, and has since evolved into an international organization, Fundación Cántaro Azul.
