Project Pure
This project is crucial in alleviating the severe water crisis faced by many regions of Indonesia, where limited infrastructure leaves residents without safe drinking water, increasing the risk of malnutrition and illness. Project Pure is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of these communities through a reliable and sustainable solutio

Water Purification Solutions
To address the specific challenges of Jakarta’s climate and water supply, Project Pure utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, including a 2,000-gallon Storage Tank, Reverse Osmosis (RO) System, Booster Pump, Pre-filter, Sedimentation Tank, Level Gauge, UV Light, Pumps, PVC, and Valves. Each component plays a vital role in ensuring water is efficiently stored, purified, and distributed to households in need, providing a consistent supply of safe drinking water and significantly improving the daily lives of residents. The core of this system is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology, which purifies water by pushing it through a semipermeable membrane, effectively removing contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and salts. This ensures that the water provided is of the highest quality, offering a reliable, long-term solution to the community’s water challenges.
Empowering Jakarta with Clean Water
The success of Project Pure is made possible by Fluor, a generous sponsor dedicated to building resilient communities through infrastructure development. With Fluor’s financial support, engineering expertise, and logistical assistance, Engineers Without Borders can bring this advanced water purification system to life, ensuring it meets the highest standards of safety and reliability. Beyond providing clean water, Project Pure empowers communities by addressing critical infrastructure needs, fostering healthier and more resilient environments. The availability of safe water will significantly reduce waterborne diseases, improve hydration, and enable the community to focus on growth and development. With an estimated material cost of $10,987.50, this investment will have a lasting impact, providing clean water for years to come. Through collaboration with local leaders and the latest technology, Engineers Without Borders and Fluor are creating a brighter future for Jakarta’s underserved citizens—one drop at a time.
What Next?
With progress underway, the next steps include completing the system installation, conducting final tests, and ensuring full operation. Engineers Without Borders, supported by Fluor, will also train the community to maintain the system, ensuring long-term sustainability.
