the problem:

We fight the world water crisis, particularly the global deficit of safe drinking water, with over 2 billion people in the world without proper access to it. The “invisible water crisis” as the World Bank called it, refers to the major issues related with the lack of quality water, not just in health, but in the socioeconomic landscape and sustainability of communities in need, making it an urgent matter to be addressed.

Impact

WATERisLIFE develops projects that cover every stage of creating new water points for communities, from finding reliable sources, to making it accessible (boreholes, dams, rainwater catchment, others, plus solar-powered pumping systems) and filtrating it (cutting-edge ultrafiltration systems, both low-cost and high-end) while educating and working side by side with the beneficiaries. The work has been of global reach, mainly focused in Africa and Latin America. WATERisLIFE funds projects in their entirety and also collaborates with other organizations, receiving grants and donations for specific initiatives. To implement these projects, the organization enters into collaboration agreements with other NGOs, water experts, and community-based youth groups, thereby promoting local engagement.
