Uzima Clean Water Mission — Organization Profile
Uzima Clean Water Mission is a clean-water ministry and nonprofit-focused water filtration organization that works with donors, NGOs, government entities, and other nonprofit partners. Uzima’s mission is bringing clean water to the world through affordable, durable, and practical filtration solutions designed for communities that need safe drinking water. The organization states that it believes no one deserves to drink dirty water and connects clean water with health, economic opportunity, gender equity, and improved quality of life.
Uzima Clean Water Mission is connected with Uzima Water Filters and is publicly listed with contact operations in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Its story began through work in Kenya, where founders Bill and Chat Coble sought an economical and effective solution for rural communities facing unsafe water. As interest grew from groups working in Kenya, throughout Africa, and around the world, Uzima Clean Water Mission was formed to serve NGOs, government entities, nonprofit organizations, and donors, while Uzima Filters handles retail operations.
The organization serves vulnerable communities, ministry partners, humanitarian organizations, aid agencies, and nonprofit groups working in Africa and other global regions where clean water access is limited. Uzima’s public materials describe filters that are easy to use, designed for use around the world, and do not require electricity. This makes the filtration systems useful in rural villages, disaster response settings, community development projects, and places where water infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.
Uzima’s core work is providing household, community, portable, and disaster-response water filtration solutions. Publicly listed products include the UZ-1 Household Water Filter, UZ-2 Complete Water Filtration System, UZ-BP Backpack Water Filter, UZ-XL Large Capacity Water Filter, Z-Source water bottle, and D-Prep Disaster Relief Kit. The organization also offers special discounts for nonprofits and volume purchasers, reflecting its emphasis on organizational partnerships and larger-scale clean-water deployment.
The filters use Hollow Fiber Membrane technology, which allows water molecules to pass through while filtering out biological contaminants larger than 0.1 microns, including bacteria, cysts, and protozoa. Uzima also emphasizes durability, fast filtration, simple maintenance through backflushing, and serialized QR codes that help partners track filter distribution and household-level data. Its materials state that the UZ-1 filters 99.9999% of bacteria that cause waterborne disease.
People can engage Uzima Clean Water Mission by donating, purchasing filters, requesting a custom quote, partnering through a nonprofit or humanitarian organization, or contacting the team about clean-water projects. Donors can support general clean-water work, disaster relief, and specific clean-water initiatives through Uzima’s online giving platform. Churches, ministries, NGOs, and community-development organizations can use Uzima’s resources to provide practical clean-water access in settings where unsafe water threatens health and daily life.
