We equip our partners with WASH infrastructure so that their operations can continue in a safer and more efficient manner.
In 2019, we identified that the lack of access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene has become one of the most severe and pressing problems in the areas where we work—affecting not only children and their families, but also our partners' ability to carry out their projects. We decided to take action and launch our WASH program.
Our Impact:
In 2023, we distributed 324 filters to 134 schools and community centers
We have provided 194 water tanks, reducing the time spent collecting water and ensuring a reliable and certain supply.
We formalized our partnership with LifeStraw and joined their Give Back program, receiving a donation of 282 community filters and 40 Maxfilters
In 2023, we have benefited a total of 55,741 children
Construction of drinking water infrastructure in 2 schools, benefiting 871 children.
