We are the biggest manufacturer of ceramic water filters in Africa, producing a convenient and affordable solution using locally sourced materials. We partner with other companies to sell and distribute other products such as improved cookstoves. Our carbon projects allow us to support communities with limited purchase power to access our products, while reducing carbon emissions and helping to fight climate change. We have been registering carbon credits from the gold standard since 2019.
We have carbon projects across Uganda and Rwanda, offering Purifaaya ceramic water filter and improved cookstoves to households with limited financial means. Explore some of our projects below.
A local solution to Africa’s lack of access to safe and clean drinking water
SPOUTS was founded in 2011 to provide Ugandans with an affordable, locally-made ceramic water filter to reduce the burden of preventable water-borne diseases. Since 2011, we have increased our production capacity, expanded into a new country and added new products to our offering, helping to expand the environmental and social benefits our customers need.
We are a mission-driven team focused on creating the greatest possible positive impact for the customers we serve. We are a young and dynamic company with an agile approach to our growth. Working at SPOUTS means joining an ambitious team with big dreams and a laser focus on improving people’s lives using a sustainable business model. We pride ourselves on building teams with extensive local experience and providing career growth opportunities in an exciting industry.
