Red Button Design

midomoRed Button Design, the first Social Enterprise to win the support of the infamous BBC 2 “Dragons' Den” with their motion powered water purifier, are expanding their activities in Kenya. ‘Midomo’, as the product is now called, uses an internal filter system powered by the rotation of the wheels to transform harmful water to drinkable water on-the-go. A user would roll the unit to the nearest source of water, fill the 50 litre tank, and roll it home. Once home, the water drawn from the unit is safe to drink. It is a simple concept which could have an enormous impact as it is estimated that improved water supply and sanitation could alleviate 10% of all disease across the globe.
To make the units as accessible as possible for local people, Red Button Design have recently expanded their activities to include Christmas gift, donation, and corporate sponsorship options. To find out more about Midomo and the 3 new ways you can support this revolutionary product to save lives, please see: www.midomo.co.uk
