Shy Kit Wong

After observing the lack of clean water access among the indigenous communities back in Malaysia, Shy Kit started a tech-based social enterprise that designs off-grid devices to provide clean drinkable water for rural communities using solar thermal energy. The device is engineered to distil water sources such as rainwater and river water into drinkable water, suitable for household usage. To cater to the off-grid areas, the device is designed to be portable, user-friendly for maintenance and affordable. In 5 years, Luminary aims to deploy its devices across the Asia Pacific region, providing clean water for over 5,000 people.
