2019 INFLUENCERS Rising Stars
With the help of family who was visiting Bangladesh last summer, I got raw water samples from across the Rohingya refugee camps tested for contaminants and designed a low-cost, no-power household filtration unit.
Meanwhile, we ran a crowdfunding campaign for the initial pilot of 100 units. We exceeded our fundraising goal and will be delivering this solution to provide clean drinking water to 500 refugees, many of whom are children. It took a great deal of trial and error to create a solution that could filter the shockingly high contaminant levels, particularly bacteria and fluoride.

Kyma president & CEO Keith Evans remarked, “We are excited to partner with GOLeafe to help bring their innovative graphene materials to market – a market that to date has been held hostage to more costly and less eco-friendly manufacturing approaches.”
GOLeafe co-founder and CEO Arsheen Allam added, “As a small startup with big plans, it has been a pleasure to grow our relationship with Kyma over the past three years. This agreement represents an important milestone for GOLeafe and we look forward to working closely with Kyma to engage with customers and begin GOLeafe’s transition to the commercialization stage.”
