"WARKA WATER INC IS A 501(C)(3) REGISTERED NONPROFIT FOCUSED ON INNOVATIVE, AND
TRULY SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS, TO SOME OF HUMANITY’S MOST ENDURING ISSUES".


MISSION




WARKA WATER (WW) MISSION IS TO PROVIDE CLEAN WATER, SANITATION, AND HOUSING TO
THE PEOPLE IN NEED, BY BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES, PROVIDING
TECHNICAL TRAINING FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE, AND CREATING
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR SANITARY AND HYGIENE PRACTICES. WE ARE DEVELOPING
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.


THE STORY




“VISITING RURAL COMMUNITIES UP ON THE HIGH PLATEAU IN THE NORTH EAST REGION OF
ETHIOPIA, IN 2013, I WITNESSED THIS DRAMATIC REALITY: THE LACK OF POTABLE WATER.
THE VILLAGERS LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BUT OFTEN WITHOUT RUNNING
WATER, ELECTRICITY, TOILETS OR SHOWERS”. ARTURO VITTORI.


THE NEED




“TO SURVIVE, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WALK EVERY DAY FOR MILES TOWARDS PONDS, WHERE
THE WATER IS OFTEN CONTAMINATED WITH HUMAN AND ANIMAL WASTE, PARASITES, AND
DISEASES. TO HELP IMPROVE THIS DRAMATIC SITUATION, I MADE IT MY MISSION TO FIND
AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION AND HELP THESE PEOPLE.” ARTURO VITTORI


WARKA TOWER




IN 2015 THE FIRST WARKA TOWER PILOT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN DORZE, A RURAL
COMMUNITY IN SOUTH ETHIOPIA. AFTER THIS SUCCESSFUL INITIATIVE, WE HAVE FOUNDED
THE “WARKA WATER INC.” NON-PROFIT, BASED IN THE USA, AS A PLATFORM FOR OUR
SOCIAL ACTIONS.


PROJECTS




WITH THE EXPERIENCE ACQUIRED WORKING WITH RURAL COMMUNITIES, WE REALIZED THAT
ABOVE THE WATER SCARCITY THERE WERE OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES WE COULD HELP WITH.
THIS IS WHY ADDITIONAL PROJECTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, FOR INTEGRATED AND
SUSTAINABLE AID.


THE NAME




THE NAME ‘WARKA’ COMES FROM THE WARKA TREE, WHICH IS A WILD LARGE FIG TREE,
ENDEMIC TO ETHIOPIA. IT HAS AN IMPORTANT SYMBOLIC VALUE, IT IS THE CENTER OF THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY, FUNDAMENTAL FOR THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM, AND OFFERS A GATHERING
PLACE. MOREOVER, IT HAS ALSO A SPIRITUAL MEANING, WERE TO PRAY FOR GOD.


INSPIRATION


WARKA TREE
“OUR WORK FINDS INSPIRATION FROM NATURE. LIKE THE WARKA TREE, WE AIM TO SERVE
THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY."


BIOMIMICRY
“INSECTS, ANIMALS, AND PLANTS DEVELOP SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO LIVE IN A SPECIFIC
ENVIRONMENT. SOME OF THEM ARE CAPABLE OF COLLECTING WATER FROM THE AIR AND
STORING IT TO SURVIVE IN THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS ON EARTH."




TRADITIONS
“WE INTEGRATE THE LOCAL CULTURE, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES,
REVITALIZING ANCIENT FORGOTTEN TRADITIONS”, SAID ARTURO VITTORI.


PHILOSOPHY




INNOVATIVE, ECO-FRIENDLY, BIODEGRADABLE INFRASTRUCTURES, TO SUPPORT THE BASIC
NEEDS OF DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS LOCATED IN REMOTE RURAL LOCATIONS. TRULY
SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS THROUGH THE FUSION OF LOCAL TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, AND
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES. INVOLVEMENT OF THE HUMAN LOCAL RESOURCES IN ALL THE
STAGES OF THE PROJECT. INSPIRED BY NATURE, VISIONARY DESIGN SOLUTIONS ARE
CREATED INVOLVING THE HUMAN LOCAL RESOURCES IN ALL THE STAGES OF THE PROJECT.
UNDERSTANDING, RESPECTING AND IMPLEMENTING THE “GENIUS LOCI”, THE SPIRIT OF A
PLACE.


IMPACT




BEYOND POTABLE WATER, WE AIM TO EMPOWER THE LOCAL ETHNIC GROUPS AND RESTORE THE
NATURAL ECOSYSTEM. TO BRING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY BY INVIGORATING
THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND PROVIDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN OPPORTUNITIES TO INVEST THEIR
TIME IN CARE, EDUCATION, AND OTHER CULTURAL AND PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES.
