Provide clean water for Gaza
AMWAJ is launching a fundraising campaign to raise US$5,000 to support Blue Filter, a Gaza-based company that provides innovative water purification technology using natural, plant-based materials to provide clean and safe drinking water. Salah El Sadi founded Blue Filter in 2021. The company offers a range of products, including a compact, eco-friendly filtration system for homes, farms and refugee camps; a larger filtration system to ensure safe irrigation water for farmers; and an emergency water purification kit for crisis zones. Using a unique blend of plant seeds to naturally remove contaminants such as nitrates, heavy metals and pathogens, Blue Filter ensures high water quality while minimising environmental impact.
Salah El Sadi’s idea for an affordable, eco-friendly and scalable solution to water scarcity and contamination was born out of the urgent need he and his colleagues witnessed in Gaza, particularly in underserved communities, including rural and low-income households, schools, health facilities and refugee camps. “Blue Filter was never just about me—it was about a dedicated team of scientists, engineers, and environmentalists united by one shared vision: clean water for all. We are not just a company; we are a movement, and we refuse to let this crisis define our future,” says Blue Filter’s founder.
During the war in Gaza, Blue Filter lost its entire infrastructure. But Salah and his team are determined to rebuild: ”This time, not just for farmers, but for the thousands of displaced and suffering people in Gaza who lack access to safe drinking water.”
The goal of Salah and his team is to raise $100,000 “to restart Blue Filter and provide emergency drinking water solutions for the people of Gaza”. AMWAJ aims to raise $5000 for Blue Filter to rebuild some of the company’s basic infrastructure. Read the full story of Salah and Blue Filter here and donate below.
