Aquality

In the bustling streets of Vietnam, my hometown, and among my engagements in United Nations volunteer projects, I became aware of the water contamination crisis—an issue not unique to Vietnam but prevalent across Southeast Asia, notably in Cambodia. The stark disparity in water accessibility between these regions and the United States, where tap water is readily available, sparked a determination within me to seek solutions. This summer, I, along with my partner Marco Qin, am channeling our collective passion and expertise into a startup aimed at addressing this critical issue. Our product Aquality, centered on the development of an innovative reusable water bottle with a built-in filtration system, is a testament to our dedication to making a substantial impact on environmental sustainability and health.
