Quest Water Global, Inc. announced that the company has entered into a multi-year Strategic Partnership Agreement with Dikembe Mutombo’s American Venture Group (“AVMA”), and Kalo Products SARL (“Kalo”) of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Strategic Partnership between AVMA, Kalo, and Quest, which the parties refer to as the “Oasis Community Water Partnership”, further expands the Company’s presence within Africa. The agreement establishes a trilateral partnership whereby Quest will work jointly with AVMA and Kalo to install and operate AQUAtapTM systems, to be co-branded “AQUAtapTM Oasis Community Water Centers”, in underserved rural communities throughout the DRC. A multi-million-dollar project, the partnership initially will install 50 AQUAtapTM Oasis Community Water Centers commencing with the Provinces of Tanganyika, Lualaba, Sud Ubangi, and Kasai. Each AQUAtapTM Oasis Community Water Center is rated to produce 80,000 liters of clean, safe water per day which will be sold to residents at affordable, socially responsible prices. Kalo is a Congolese company that works primarily in the food & beverage industry. Built on the values of integrity, innovation, and professionalism, Kalo has been able to penetrate the Congolese food & beverage industry by marketing Oasis mineral water, which is one of the top 5 bottled water brands in the capital city of Kinshasa. Kalo is committed to addressing social issues and to giving back to the community through a program called "Oasis Cares", whose objective is to provide drinking water to remote, disadvantaged, and underserved areas.
Quest Water Global, Inc. is a water technology company that provides sustainable and environmentally sound solutions to water-scarce regions. The Company has developed a AQUAtap Community Water Purification and Distribution System consisting of a self-contained water purification system using either a reverse osmosis membrane or ultrafiltration membrane, powered by photovoltaic solar panels and hosted in modified shipping containers. Each unit is energy self-sufficient with minimal operational and maintenance costs. The product's each unit is capable of converting brackish, sea or contaminated surface water into drinking water at a rate of up to 100,000 liters per day. In addition to the solar-powered water purification systems, the Company also develops a technology known as WEPSTM that produces potable water from humidity in the atmosphere.
