Ultra low-cost water filters

Folia Water manufactures an ultra low-cost water filter which sieves contaminated water into safe drinking water. Their silver-infused paper filter eliminates bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, reducing the risks of diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. 

Bopinc was approached to support the launch of their product in Bangladesh. Considering that more than half of Bangladeshis have limited or no access to safe drinking water, this new and affordable product could be life-changing for families in low-income communities.

Impact

Creating demand for affordable water filters

Folia Water supported

With their market launch

20 sales agents supported

With relevant training

10,000 consumers reached

Through activation activities

Efficient supply chain

We train and build the capacity of rural sales agents to sell the product as we collect learnings and evidence on how to scale. The successful adoption and continued purchase of the affordable water filters would not only create income opportunities for microsales agents but would also mean millions of Bangladeshi households get access to this essential water treatment solution.
