Fight childhood disease with safe drinking water

Agua Pura was established 17 years ago with the objective of providing safe drinking water to families and communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Since inception, we have assisted thousands of individuals across 10 countries in preventing waterborne illnesses caused by contaminated supplies. We appreciate the continued support received from GlobalGiving and our valued donors.

We are proud of our team members, especially Hovard in Haiti who continues to work helping his countrymen learn about water and contamination and then learn how to provide clean healthy water for their families. Despite the challenges of the current social situation of gangs over running the government, Hovard and his team continue to seek out villages and areas where the people still drink contaminated water and help them understand and take control of their health.

Many well-intentioned organizations have tried to provide safe water, but their efforts often failed due to a lack of ongoing support. To address this, Agua Pura trains local volunteers and community members in water testing and purification so they can continue independently. Our approach has always focused on fostering self-reliance. We equip local staff and health workers with skills and supplies to maintain the program after we've left.

This recent project is only one of the many different programs Agua Pura has supported over the years, programs that would not have been possible without the help of donors such as yourself and others through GlobalGiving.  Thank You Very Much. Your giving helps us to help people obtain clean drinking water to avoid illnesses and provide a more healthy life.
