The Ethiopian government has adopted an approach to respond to water and drought problems affecting the lives of millions of people. One of the actions is a water-centered development strategy to reduce water and water related food problems to speed up the overall socio-economic development of the country. It gives special attention to water resources studies and actions to increase access to water and the provision of safe drinking water.
This led to the engagement of the Tulip Addis Water filter company (Tulip Addis) to introduce water treatment technology that fits within the strategy designed by the government.
The vision of Tulip Addis is to assist in reducing water borne diseases by the dissemination of low cost household water treatment options
The mission of Tulip Addis is to create a market based and commercial viable supply chain for Tulip siphon filers and other low cost water filters. These filters should comply with water filter quality guidelines. Tulip Addis will work with service indicators such as the coverage, continuity, and cost, get feedback from communities and consult and get approval of relevant authorities.
The ultimate goal of Tulip Addis is to reach all corners of Ethiopia with sales outlets of these water filters and to start local assembly of filters to further reduce cost and create local employment. The objective of Tulip Addis is to reach urban and rural communities and families who now do not have safe drinking water.
Tulip Addis is introducing innovative low cost household water filters which improve water quality at the Point Of Use (POU) improving health in general and especially helps to achieve MDG4 (reducing child mortality.)
The Tulip Table Top is a two bucket water filter and water storage facility in one. The top bucket is filled with raw water, which is filtered through the Tulip candle filter into the lower bucket. The water in the lower bucket is safe for immediate consumption. The water is also safe for storage in the lower bucket for longer periods. The Tulip Table Top lasts up to 7000 liters. After which the candle can be easily replaced.
