Water For Humans RSS Feed
Water for Humans is a nonprofit social venture enterprise working to bring clean water to communities in need through partnerships with local social entrepreneurs. These partnerships ensure clean drinking water, local job creation and protect local water assets.
Over 1.1 billion people in the world do not have access to potable water. Lack of water and contaminated water sources are some of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide, causing waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and parasite infections.
What we do
Water for Humans recognizes the critical need of ensuring safe drinking water today and in the future. We work to allow immediate access to potable water by deploying low-cost, in-home water purification systems. We support future clean water supplies through watershed restoration, working with local entrepreneurs in communities throughout the world to generate local employment and clean water while assisting in the public retention of common water assets. more
How we work
We deploy culturally appropriate, in-home water purification systems via a long-term leasing program. To improve health and reduce disease, these systems provide clean water from available water sources at a lower cost (Mexico) than bottled drinking water. more
