Community water
Are you looking for a partner to help provide access to clean water to some of the millions of people in underserved communities? Then you have come to the right place. Because we have given ourselves the challenge to solve this in SafeWater.
We are a business unit working towards Grundfos’ ambition of reaching 300 million people in 2030 with access to drinking water.
Did you know?
1/3 of the world’s population lack access to safely managed drinking water. This calls for action. Now.
Who is SafeWater?
SafeWater is a strategic business unit in Grundfos. We strive to create lasting impact by transforming underserved communities through commercially viable smart water solutions that contribute towards a better future for all.
We collaborate closely with some of the world’s leading humanitarian and development aid organisations. We also partner up with local distributers, service partners, industries, energy service providers, banks and financing institutions, investors and governments. We predominately operate in East and West Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East – and often in remote locations.
We support the entire value chain
We tie together all activities because it is an end-to-end journey. So along with offering pumps and water solutions, we actively work with local delivery, our global footprint, trainings, installation and service.
This means we support from the moment a water need is identified until a system is in the ground - and still working 10 years later. And we do this through our public and private sectors partners, across sectors and within Grundfos.

Always striving to make an impact
Watch how Grundfos designed a solar pumping system that doesn't depend on the electricity grid. Through this unique and efficient solar system, we were able to ensure consistent and reliable water supply in the Kashmir valley in India.
Pump swap brings water to 700 people in Madagascar
A single handpump prone to breakdowns was the only source of water for a school in Atsimo Andrefana until, in partnership with Adra International, SafeWater replaced the ineffective handpump with an SQFlex mini. The swap brought drinking water and water for irrigation to the students and 150 surrounding households.
