Forbes 30under30 Entrepreneur, Hamza Farrukh, and his team at Bondh E Shams (The Solar Water Project) have developed a cost-effective and transportable solution for the global water crisis.

Each liter of water is 3,000 times less expensive than bottled water and is delivered free of cost to vulnerable communities; Bondh E Shams have begun work in Pakistan, Bangladesh & South Sudan and want to reach every single one of the 1.2bn people without safe water. Could this be the most scalable tool in our fight against the global water crisis?
This talk was given at a TEDxNorthAdams event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
