Archimedes Project

The Archimedes Project is a not-for-profit organization that believes the most intractable problems in water and sanitation can be solved using market-driven approaches. Our goal is to end waterborne disease by supporting the design and launch of scalable and financially sustainable clean water and sanitation social enterprises around the world.
