About Us

The SODIS Foundation is an independent non-profit organization that believes everyone has a right to safe water and good health.  Moreover, the Foundation thinks that major improvements in health can happen economically and be done sustainably.  SODIS tries to encourage healthy behaviors that innovatively use resources—whether by recycling plastic bottles, using solar light to disinfect water, or by optimizing use of existing water resources.  SODIS works collaboratively with public and private institutions to help get health to the people who need it most.
