Design and manufacturing for water, sanitation, and hygiene
More than 90% of deaths from waterborne illnesses occur with children in poor urban areas that lack access to clean water and quality sanitation. Splash brings clean water, hygiene education, and improved sanitation (WASH) to children living in urban poverty.

Splash and the Autodesk Foundation partnered to scale a design-forward, replicable WASH solution. They combined Splash’s expertise in handwashing and drinking stations with the Autodesk Foundation’s philanthropic funding, design, and engineering expertise.
From 2017 to 2021, Splash received funding to create and sell transformative stations for the WASH sector. Within one year, Splash was able to design and manufacture 3,600 plastic handwashing and drinking stations for schools and orphanages in Kolkata and Addis Ababa. This also established a social-enterprise model to scale distribution.
