Drinkwell is a technology platform for clean water.
Our technology is embedded within water infrastructure purifying more than 1 million liters of water every day across Bangladesh & India.
Social Business Partnership with Dhaka WASA
Drinkwell has partnered with Dhaka WASA since 2017 to provide safe, affordable drinking water at 80 paisa per liter, a cost that is 18x cheaper than packaged water alternatives. Dhaka WASA and Drinkwell have a 50/50 cost-share in financing each Water ATM Booth, where Dhaka WASA tenders the installation of a shed and provides land, electricity, etc while Drinkwell provides filtration equipment, ATM dispensers, and smartphones at no cost to Dhaka WASA. Once the Water ATM Booth is installed, end users collect safe water through prepaid smart cards and this revenue helps offset operating costs. The Water ATM project is a “no loss, no dividend” social business meaning once the project will generate a profit, 100% of all profits will be reinvested back into the project to grow our impact and no profits leave Bangladesh. Drinkwell leases office space from Dhaka WASA and operates a Control Center at Dhaka WASA Bhaban where we monitor each Water ATM Booth to ensure quality.
