FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PARIS, FRANCE – May 26, 2025 – SafeSip, a pioneering social enterprise dedicated to providing clean drinking water through innovative filtration solutions, has been honored with the prestigious Tech For Change award at VivaTech 2025. This recognition celebrates SafeSip’s impactful work in addressing global challenges, particularly in delivering safe hydration to rural communities in East Africa.
Under the leadership of CEO Faith Kuya, SafeSip has developed affordable, portable water filtration straws made from recycled ocean plastic, featuring a three-stage filtration system that removes 99.99% of pathogens.
