True sustainabilityWhile being “green” can be a great feat in itself, in order to truly have a positive impact and righteously call ourselves a sustainable company, we also measure sustainability on a human scale.
Empowering peopleEnabling people in less prosperous economies and living-conditions to develop the wellbeing and wealth of their communities is what aQysta is all about.
ResponsibilityWe are not a charity, we think that people should feel responsible for improving their own wellbeing. We offer people tools that allow than to take this responsibility and make it their own.
Social entrepreneurshipBy doing business using a holistic approach, we intend to be –and inspire other to be- social entrepreneurs. This means that the bottom line for us is creating social capital and improving living conditions while being able to grow our business and extend reach.
The Barsha Pump
aQysta’s Barsha pump is a low-cost, innovative solution for small- and medium sized farmers to
irrigate their fields without using any fuel or electricity to do so.
Our hydro-powered pump easily implemented anywhere where there is flowing water nearby and requires very little maintenance. Furthermore, by doubling yields by proper irrigation, Barsha will pay back for itself within 18 months.
More about productProducts for People
aQysta is on a Quest to make the future a brighter one for people around the globe. Since water is the essential ingredient of both life and civilization, this is where we start. By developing essential products that truly have the potential to impact the lives of people on a global scale, we want to create a people-centered business.
Rather than providing things for free, we aim to include our target audience in all aspects of our process in order to create products of real value that instill a sense of pride of ownership and responsibility in our customers. To us, this kind of empowerment is what drives development.
Project Nepal
One of our target markets for our Barsha pump is Nepal, where 76% of people depend on
agriculture for their livelihoods. While it has an abundance of rivers and streams, a big portion of the
agricultural land remains without irrigation due to the high cost of implementation. aQysta intends
to change this.
