[Music]
before I start please close your eyes
everyone close your eyes can catch you
if you’re opening your eyes imagine
yourself when you were five or six years
old you’re living in a hut you’re not
living in Germany where it’s cool
oh it’s windy you’re living in a hut
five six five or six years old
you wake up in the morning the first
thing that you put your legs on the
floor is so painful and you realize
that’s listless on your leg and it
bleeds a bit and you touch your lips and
you feel this liquid you have a look at
it and it’s blood your lips are cracked
open because it’s so hot
it’s about 50 degrees Celsius out there
you wake up you meet your mom out there
and she tells you to go and collect
water and you pick up the Jerry can or a
bottle an empty bottle and you walk you
start walking you’re six years old
you’re going through some bushes some of
them are higher than you he go in you
hear snakes you hear animals he walk and
walk and walk the next two hours come to
a spot a small lake
just imagine did you six five or six
years old again we come to a lake and
you bend down and you drink water from
that lake and you realize that that lake
is brown in color it’s a dead animal 100
meters away
who has flies on it and you have another
child over there who is defecating by
the river as well and you’re drinking
the same water that the child is
defecating pick up your Jerry can you
fill it up with water and you walk back
you’re five or six years old and you’re
pulling the Jerry can as you walk and
you walk and it’s so heavy your body is
so weak that you can’t even pull it you
take breaks and by the time you reach
home it’s already 2:00 in the afternoon
most of the kids out there going to
school with you every day you’re
collecting water you come back to home
you realize your stomach aches and now
you go to the bathroom which definitely
is not the bathroom but it’s an open
space and you have diarrhea six times a
day sometimes
you five or six years old and your body
is so weak I just wanted to open up your
eyes now I just want to share with you
that this kid six-year-old passed away
the exact scenario that I just given you
in this kit it’s just one hour away from
a city center in Malaysia it still gives
me goosebumps every time I tell you the
story I started off my journey because
of this kid her name is Mira I went to a
village in 2014 in June 2014 and I met
with the family family told me that she
was having diarrhea about six times day
I built a system around it a water
system and I went back to the village
two weeks before I delivered a water
system to them Mira passed away so the
entire thing that you have imagined is a
real story went through by this kid
nearly a billion people don’t have
access to clean and safe drinking water
since I’ve spoken since the whole day
you are here every twenty-second around
the world a child dies because of clean
and safe drinking water a show of hand
which of these clans would you choose on
the right who choose a glass on the
right most definitely everyone I’ll come
back to you with the answer of this
question in a bit since I work for the
past one and a half years we have
brought in water to about three thousand
nine hundred families for the past 18
months we have saved about 200 kids and
in Asia whereby if a kid passes the age
of five years old it’s like winning a
lottery out of ten kids only three kids
get to pass after the age of five years
old seven kids puzzles away and most of
the time after bringing safe and clean
drinking water because of this parents
don’t have to spend money in hospitals
they spend on education of the kids so
we have helped family grow in the past
since we started off we have one well as
one of the fastest growing social
enterprise around the world out of more
than 30 countries we want an award in
Chicago last year so coming back to the
question again
guess which last the village chose after
working for 18 months last the villager
chose was the gray glass the glass that
was cloudy and murky and to them it’s
because they have never seen a glass of
clear water in their life and to them
this was dirty it was a matter of
perception so what we realized after 18
months was actually that safe water is a
necessity but clear water that’s a
luxury and after 18 months we spending a
couple of hundreds of thousands of
dollars researching about this and
deploying systems we realized that hey
you know it’s not it’s not about
bringing clear water but it’s making
sure it’s safe this is our first
prototype this is an exact photo type we
also presented to President Obama but in
2015 and after presenting to him after
15 minutes the entire system broke down
so so we were lucky to actually not
breaking down during the presentation
and now we have received award from
Stanford Harvard and a couple of and
also we got an award from NASA as well
as an innovation that impacts a billion
lives this is our innovation at the
moment as you can see the previous
product was actually the height
somewhere around here I was quite bulky
and this is our current innovation after
one and a half years old it actually
what you do is you have sunlight
recharges the device and then you have
salt with the premix a bit water you
have brine solution and you put it in
and through electrolysis you have
chlorine which makes the water safe so
you just put in chlorine depending on
how big the cherry can is if it’s 1
liter 5 liter 10 or 20 and you pour it
into the water the can and you wait it
overnight and it’s safe to drink the
next day and this cost only about a
hundred US dollars and it can sterilize
up to 60,000 liters of water and we
think that’s a great deal and it’s tough
it’s really small it fits into my pocket
so if you see so this is depending on
the on the volume of water that you have
it’s really small and you can drop it it
doesn’t break the grand vision of the
company is actually is bigger than water
it’s about lifting a human above the
poverty line because water is the first
step then you have sanitation and you
have health education you can’t provide
education to a sick child
you got to solve the necessity of
bringing right health the family has to
be so economically empowered because if
they don’t have money these children are
forced to work in the fields as well my
question to all of you guys here today
is there’s a lot of help that is needed
on this part of the world which is in
developing countries we are very lucky
to be born in such a privileged state
but sometimes you don’t even realize oh
it is a matter of ignorance whether
mutant do we really want to do something
about the other people in the world or
do we want to always stay in this part
and say that’s not my problem because I
think as posed
one plays a part in each other’s lives
and I think that’s that’s the only thing
that I can pass it on to you pass on the
baton to you is you want to really do
something and move this journey or do
you want to say hey you know I had a
amazing talk was it amazing Friday but
I’ll go back and think about it and say
how do I make my life much more
meaningful make sure that you can
contribute in some ways to other people
