Organisation: Swodeshi Innovation, Nepal
Across Nepal’s mountains, 75% of drinking water systems sit idle despite years of investment. Manual operations, soaring electricity costs, and chronic equipment failures leave communities-particularly women and youth-without reliable access to safe water. Swodeshi Innovation has developed a smart digital automation system that helps restore failing drinking water lift systems in Nepal’s mountains by making them energy-efficient, climate-resilient, and easier to manage remotely.
