Deploying Mobile Purification Systems to the East
Project: Water & Health (WASH) | Asset: Mobile Filtration Units
In Eastern Ukraine, the destruction of municipal grids has forced communities to rely on precarious supply lines. When water trucks can’t get through due to shelling or fuel shortages, residents are often forced to draw from contaminated local sources—river water or stagnant wells—risking a secondary health crisis.
To counter this, Bird of Light Ukraine has deployed three high-mobility water purification units to the hardest-hit sectors: Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia.
High-Output Mobility Sourced through our partnership with Compassion Medical and Air Mobile Ministries, these units are designed for rapid deployment in austere environments.
Capacity: Each unit purifies 2,200 liters per day—enough to sustain a community of 1,000 people daily.
Operational Independence: Unlike static infrastructure, these devices can be moved immediately if the frontline shifts. They grant a community total autonomy, turning any available freshwater source into safe, potable drinking water within minutes.
Trusted Distribution Nodes Technology requires a network. We deployed these units directly to Greek Catholic Churches in each region. In these frontline communities, these churches act as de facto humanitarian hubs, possessing the trust and logistical reach to ensure the clean water is distributed equitably to the most vulnerable residents.
