Make IRIBA your everyday water.

Safer.

Purified on the spot and HACCP-certified. No boiling, no guesswork.

Cheaper by the litre.

Up to 80% less than bottled water when you bring your own container. Pay only for what you take. Nothing more.

Always nearby.

In your neighbourhood and your child's school, on around the clock.

No plastic bottles.

Refill your own container for zero waste, or grab a paper cup. It's single use, but paper, not plastic. Either way you skip the bottle. Better for you, better for the planet.

Safe water in three easy steps.

1

Walk up to an IRIBA ATM in your community or school.

2

Fill your refillable container, or grab a paper cup. It's single use, but paper, not plastic.

3

Drink. It's clean, it's safe, and it costs a fraction of what you'd pay for bottled water.

That's it. No queuing for hours. No boiling. No plastic bottles piling up.

It doesn't just dispense water. It dispenses life.

Every IRIBA Tap&Drink is a smart water ATM: a compact purification plant that turns water from almost any source into safe, delicious drinking water, right there on the spot.

Purifies on the spot.

Rain, borehole or tap water goes in. Safe drinking water comes out.

Smart and monitored.

We track flow and water quality in real time, so every ATM keeps working. That's how we stay HACCP certified.

Always on.

Safe water around the clock, looked after by a local young operator who knows the machine inside out.

Pay only for what you take.

Tap, fill, done. No subscriptions, no waste. Safe water by the litre.

Why IRIBA is different

HACCP-certified safe.

We meet the rigorous international food-safety standard most water sellers never reach. On safety, we don't do shortcuts.

Run by young Rwandans.

Our ATMs are operated by young people who own their hustle. Safe water becomes steady income and a generation of water entrepreneurs.

Goodbye, single-use plastic.

Bring a refillable container for zero waste, or take a paper cup. It's single use, but paper, not plastic. No more mountains of plastic bottles.

Water that reaches everyone.

Rich neighbourhood or not, city or school. If people are there, safe water should be too. That's the whole point.

Safe water, up to 80% cheaper.

Bring your own container and IRIBA water costs a fraction of bottled: up to 80% less. The more you refill, the less each litre costs. Pay only for what you take, skip the plastic, and keep more in your pocket. Everybody wins.

Our impact grows while you read this.

Every time we plug in a new ATM, thousands more people get safe water, often for the first time. So we don't chase a perfect number. We chase the next neighbourhood.
