GivePower logoOrlando, FL, September 6, 2023: GivePower, an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean water and clean power in developing regions around the world, has partnered with Castaways Energy. With each solar system installed, Castaways Energy gives the gift of power and clean water to communities in need. Their contributions as of June 2023 alone will give 275 people the gift of access to clean water for the next 20 years.

GivePower’s Solar Water Farms utilize solar energy to desalinate either sea or brackish water sources. In addition to removing salt, viruses, and bacteria, the systems also eliminate other contaminants, including fluoride, creating a reliable, affordable source of clean drinking water for communities in need.

“Castaways Energy is dedicated to making a difference,” stated Tony Millazo, President of Castaways Energy. “It is our passion to bless as many people as possible with energy and clean water. For Castaways Energy, our partnership with GivePower is just the beginning to reach our future goals.”

Access to clean water is considered one of the largest challenges facing the world today. More than 1.42 BILLION PEOPLE (including 450 million children) live in areas of high or extremely high water vulnerability. This leads to a wide array of issues, from diseases and starvation to income inequality, particularly for women and girls, who are often tasked with fetching water. GivePower’s Solar Water Farms are one of the most cutting-edge technological solutions aimed at reversing this problem.

“We are tremendously grateful to Castaways Energy for their generous contributions and support of our Solar Water Farm program,” said Michele Magee, President of GivePower. “This funding will help improve the health and economic opportunities of vulnerable communities in Colombia, Haiti, and Kenya.”

Staffed with 124 people worldwide, GivePower builds, installs, and operates Solar Water Farms. With three models, these systems are capable of producing 10,000–75,000 liters of water per day. The operations are fully independent of any local electrical grid and run entirely on clean energy. GivePower’s model has won multiple international awards, including the prestigious Energy Globe Award in Kenya.
