Our Undertaking

The SkyJuice™ Foundation's undertaking is to advance the Millennium Development Goals for water and sanitation through stakeholder partnerships, delivering water and sanitation solutions that are sustainable, affordable and appropriate to communities in developing nations and for emergency and disaster relief.

The Foundation has a basic philosophy that developed economies and citizens can afford to assist citizens of the developing world. There is no defensible excuse to further delay the deployment of affordable, sustainable solutions. The SkyJuice™ Foundation has patented and jointly developed a range of technology based solutions that use low cost, low pressure membrane technology to produce large volumes of affordable water. SkyJuice™ solutions are reliable and validated to produce compliant potable water without chemicals.

The membrane technology is robust and has a long life. Typical cost of potable water is less than 20 cents per person per annum with no consumable costs. This technology is available now and further technical details on the operation of SkyJuice™ systems is available on this web site

MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs)
Agreed by the world’s leaders at the United Nations’ Millennium Summit in 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aim to reduce world poverty and improve lives while protecting the global environment. Two of these targets seek to reduce by half the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.

The scale of that challenge is immense. UNICEF and the World Health Organisation (WHO) say six years after the goal was set, 1.1 billion people still do not have access to safe drinking water and 2. 6 billion still lack reasonable sanitation. Some 4,500 children die every day from the consequences of unsafe water and inadequate hygiene, according to WHO's 2004 figures (WHO/UNICEF figures, 2004).  At any given time almost half the people in the developing world suffer from one or more water borne preventable diseases and as a result more than half the world's hospital beds are filled with people suffering from water related diseases.

" The world is in danger of missing targets for providing clean water and sanitation unless there is a dramatic increase in the pace of work and investment between now and 2015," the agencies said in a joint report.
