Sustainable OneWorld Technologies C.I.C.
Problems we’ve looked at
Working with partners, SOWTech identifies needs relating to sustainable living in aid and development situations. We then work with the partners to design products and processes to alleviate those needs. Examples of some of the "needs" for which SOWTech have developed innovative designs and products are given below.

Why Aid and Development?
Sanitation is just one of the big unsolved issus in developing countries and in Aid situations. Inadequate or more often non-existent sanitation can cause more deaths than disease or the initial disaster.
There is also a great need for large scale water storage at a local level. The rains when they come are allowed to soak into the ground or run off causing soil erosion. It SOWTech’s expertise lies in thinking outside of the box and where we can help the most.
Solar powered cooking
