Welcome to Aqua Clara

Aqua Clara International is a Michigan-based 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to forge sustainable and scalable solutions to the problems associated with potable water in developing countries.  Our overriding goal is to provide those who live on less than $2 per day with affordable clean water.  Our team of engineers, scientists, business people and program managers, whether full-time, part-time or volunteer, is fully dedicated to carrying out this mission by developing and deploying technologic solutions to worldwide water issues that are appropriate to various local contexts and needs. To complement and supplement our efforts related to water and to meet other community needs, we also provide solutions to problems related to sanitation and community health and welfare.

We make these solutions available at no charge or on a cost-recovery basis to individuals and groups who participate in our training programs in order to bring the solutions to their communities, typically through the new small businesses they learn to create and manage.  The principal ACI-supported sites are located in Kenya and Nicaragua, while we also partner with many organizations representing a range of faiths and belief systems to bring our solutions to other countries.
