Hi there everybody!

Because of you, we have reached our goal of $5000!!

We are extremely thankful for those who donated and helped us by sharing awareness of our dewatering product.

As the semester comes to a close, we are adding some finishing touches to our hydraulic press device and ordering the materials for the next iteration of our air pressure device! 

Again, thank you all again so much!

Sincerely,

One Week In and Almost 50% Funded!

November 12, 2019

Hi there from Team Dewater!

 

We have been fundraising for a week now and are right at about 50% funded!!! We need another $2500 to reach our Hornraiser goal of $5000.

We are extremely thankful for everybody who has donated and look forward to receiving more donations in order for us to progress further on our product.

 

Device Progress

 

Recently, we tested our first air pressure prototype and we learned that air leaks are going to be our biggest concern.

This just makes us more motivated to build and test new models!

We also recieved our first shipment of baked beans aka our latrine waste substitute and are currently using these to test the durability of our filters and prototypes.

 

We can't thank everybody enough for the support and for taking the time to spread our cause.

 

Please continue to share and we encourage you to follow our Facebook Page for more frequent updates!
