1,000+children under five die every day from unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene
1.4 milliondeaths a year could be prevented with safe water, sanitation and hygiene

This is a problem we know how to solve. One filter. One family. $100.

Our Process

We bring clean drinking water to families alongside the local leaders who know their communities best.

  1. Listen and partnerWe get to know each community and its local leaders, then build a plan together.
  2. Train local leadersLeaders learn to set up and care for the filters, and teach families to do the same.
  3. Families receive filtersLocal leaders choose the families and deliver each filter with hands-on training.
  4. Follow up in personWith each family’s signed consent, we track every filter and leaders visit regularly.

Families in El Salvador with their new filters, each with a love note from a Filter Experience group.

When families stay healthy, everything else gets easier.

“Now that we have this filter our kids are no longer going to be sick and we can save money.”

Dina Villalta, El Salvador

Storm-contaminated wells, a lost harvest, a community pooling money for bags of water. A year after her filter arrived, our local leaders came back for a follow-up visit. Her kids were healthy and in school full time.

Fewer sick days.Where we’ve measured, households reporting diarrhea dropped by roughly half.
Children stay in school.Healthy kids can be in class instead of at home sick.
Families save money.Less spent on treatment and bottled water.

That’s what $100 does. The next family is waiting.
