NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the United Nations’ International Day of Charity, Waterdrop Filter joined The Water Project to celebrate eight years of partnership dedicated to expanding clean water access in western Kenya. Since 2017, the collaboration has delivered safe drinking water to thousands of children and families, evolving from individual project sponsorships to comprehensive program support that advances the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The partnership began in 2016 when Waterdrop Filter’s leadership learned of the severe lack of clean water in sub-Saharan Africa. Inspired by the belief that clean water is a basic human right, the company launched the Water4Smile initiative in 2017, pledging that every purifier sold would provide one day of clean water for a child. Choosing The Water Project as a trusted partner, Waterdrop Filter has built a collaboration that has grown stronger over eight years, reflecting its lasting commitment to global solidarity.

Early efforts included the construction of a rainwater catchment tank at Ematsuli Primary School, which directly benefited more than 825 students by providing reliable access to clean water. Over time, Waterdrop Filter shifted from sponsoring individual projects to providing program-level support that ensures broader and ongoing investment in public infrastructure and community services. This approach is helping to achieve the long-term goal of 100% clean water coverage across the regions served.

With Waterdrop Filter as a proud supporter, supporting a shared vision where 100% of people in the region have access to clean, safe water. Since its founding, the Water Project has completed more than 900,000 people in western Kenya have access to clean and reliable water thanks to over 2,600 facilities built and monitored with a 96% functionality rate.

At Kakoyi Primary School, a 13-year-old student named Angel explained how her life has changed: “The new water source will help our parents save their resources because we will not be suffering from waterborne diseases anymore. Teachers will also have more time with students because we no longer have to leave school to fetch water or miss class when seeking treatment.” Teacher Gilbert Sifuna added, “This water point will help restore hope among learners and teachers. It solves the challenges of water-related illnesses and the time wasted searching for water from distant, unreliable sources. It will also promote better hygiene practices and support improved academic performance.”

At Cheptuli Primary School, 14-year-old Margaret shared her story: “Previously, I had to carry water from home or walk long distances to find it, sometimes being denied by neighbors. It left me dirty and embarrassed in class. Now that we have a new water point, my hygiene will improve, and I will have enough time to focus on my studies.” Teacher Esther Shabaya noted, “In the past, I had to send students out of school to fetch water, which caused absenteeism and poor performance. With this new clean and reliable water source, water-related illnesses will be forgotten, and students can now focus fully on their education.”

“On this International Day of Charity, we are reminded that clean water is not only a basic human need, but also a foundation for dignity, education, and equality,” said Philip, the president of Waterdrop Filter. “Our eight-year journey with The Water Project proves that consistent charitable action can transform communities and create lasting change.”

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — petgugu, a smart pet product brand that focuses on using AI and robotics technology to build data-driven intelligent pet care systems, proudly presents its Self-flushing Smart Cat Toilet at IFA 2025 in Berlin. As the world’s first cat toilet to instantly flush waste while turning each visit into a health insight, this launch reflects petgugu’s commitment to creating a nurturing and intelligent pet care ecosystem, offering multi-cat families more scientific and comfortable solutions. (petgugu Booth: 187, Hall 2.2).

True Hands-Free, Safe, and Hygienic

For decades, cat litter boxes have stored waste, creating odor, bacteria, and daily chores. In multi-cat households, the issue becomes even more challenging. The Self-flushing Smart Cat Toilet completely liberates cat owners with a patented flush-and-drain design that washes waste directly into the sewage line—leaving no storage, no odor, and no more scooping. The system also includes smart litter refill and immediate cleaning after each visit.

An 80L spacious cabin fits even large breeds, while the enclosed design provides privacy and comfort. Safety is ensured through multi-sensor protection—motion detection, infrared live sensing, and weight recognition—so cleaning only begins once cats have exited. Anti-trap Stop mechanisms prevent accidents if cats approach or re-enter, while kitten-and-senior modes protect lighter or less mobile pets.

For hygiene, the toilet combines negative-pressure airflow, activated-silicon filters, and UVC sterilization, with optional photocatalyst modules, to eliminate odor and bacteria at the source.

Intelligent Health Monitoring

Beyond hygiene, the Self-flushing Smart Cat Toilet functions as a health monitoring terminal. Each visit is logged with time, frequency, duration, and body weight, giving families a detailed view of their cats’ routines.

Through the petgugu App, these data points are transformed into daily, weekly, and monthly health reports, helping owners and veterinarians detect early signs of constipation, urinary blockage, or digestive issues. Real-time alerts notify families when anomalies appear, allowing intervention before problems escalate.

An integrated wide-angle camera records each toileting session in the local cloud. These videos provide an additional diagnostic reference—allowing pet parents to confirm changes such as softer stools, longer squatting times, or repeated attempts to urinate. Privacy is fully protected, with access restricted to authorized accounts only, while ensuring compliance with local regulations regarding online privacy and information security.

Together, these features transform the Self-flushing Smart Cat Toilet into a true health guardian—not just cleaning after cats, but proactively safeguarding their well-being.

Availability

The petgugu Self-flushing Smart Cat Toilet is now available for sale globally. For more information, please visit www.petgugu.com.

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lefant, a global leader in home cleaning solutions, today unveiled its next-generation flagship robot vacuum and mop, the Lefant M5, at IFA 2025 in Berlin. The M5 combines advanced vacuuming with instant self-cleaning roller mopping in an impressive compact design, ideally suited for European households with limited space and complex layouts. (Lefant Booth: 187, Hall 2.2).

“Lefant does not simply seek to stack technical specifications. In Lefant, every innovation is aimed at enhancing daily cleaning experiences and making cutting-edge cleaning technology affordable for every family. With the M5, we take this philosophy to a flagship level,” said Dr. Sean Song, Vice President of Lefant.

Smaller Size, Bigger Coverage

The Lefant M210 series has sold millions of units across Europe, gaining household trust for its compact size and exceptional value. The M5 retains the M210’s advantages, featuring a 320 mm body—the smallest in its class—that maximizes coverage, navigates tight spaces, and provides more comprehensive cleaning for households.

Innovative Roller Live Water Mopping System

At the core of the M5 is Lefant’s Roller Live Water Mopping system, which enables robotic vacuums to match the cleaning power of professional floor washers. Unlike traditional flat mops that trap and spread dirt, the M5’s roller refreshes itself with circulating clean water, ensuring a hygienic cleaning surface on every roll. The roller’s unique line contact with the floor increases downward pressure and friction, significantly enhancing its ability to remove stubborn stains on hard surfaces.

Tangle-Free, Hassle-Free

Hair tangles are a major challenge in home cleaning, especially for pet families. The M5 solves this with a V-shaped main brush and an arc-shaped side brush, which centralize hair and dust toward the suction port, while featured dual-comb teeth prevent hair wrap and deliver optimal cleaning without manual intervention. Combined with 12,000 Pa suction power, the M5 effectively handles pet hair, dust, and everyday messes on multiple surfaces.

Advanced Navigation for Superior Obstacle Avoidance

The M5 is equipped with dToF laser navigation, 190° wide-angle PSD sensors, and Freemove™ technology for accurate mapping and obstacle avoidance. This advanced system allows the robot to move smoothly through cluttered environments with fewer collisions and missed areas.

Effortless Maintenance with All-in-One Base Station

The all-in-one base station enhances convenience with automatic dust collection, clean and dirty water tanks, roller washing, and room-temperature air drying. This streamlined system keeps the M5 clean and ready for the next cycle, reducing maintenance effort and ensuring consistent performance.

Availability

The Lefant M5 will be available for global purchase in the fourth quarter of 2025. For more information, visit our website: https://www.lefant.com/.
