===DelAgua Programme in Rwanda===
{|border="0" cellpadding="5"
|-
|DelAgua Health is a subsidiary of DelAgua. It focuses on economically sustainable distribution of environmental health products, including water filters and cook stoves, in developing countries.
The first such programme is underway in Rwanda. According to the WHO, over 60% of Rwandans do not have ready access to clean water. As in much of the developing world, water is often either consumed untreated or boiled using wood or fossil fuel fires. This has major adverse implications for health, carbon emissions and deforestation.
The DelAgua Health programme in Rwanda aims to benefit more than 3 million people. It includes a household scale water treatment system that addresses microbiological contamination and a high efficiency cookstove that reduces indoor air pollution and fuel use.
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the University of Colorado at Boulder and Portland State University are independently monitoring the project. The first phase, covering 9,000 people in 15 villages, has been successfully completed. For more information visit delaguahealth.com.
DelAgua is actively considering further programmes in other developing countries.

===DelAgua Distribution===
DelAgua distributes other manufacturers’ products associated with portable water testing & treatment in the developing world. Approximately 1,000 are featured on this website and over 60,000 can be sourced on request. For suppliers, it gives access to a market that they would otherwise struggle to access. As a result, many suppliers offer generous discounts to DelAgua. For customers, it offers the ability to compile a complete solution from one supplier at a very competitive price.
