The problem
Dirty water kills kids
More than 90% of deaths from waterborne illnesses are children in poor urban areas lacking clean water and quality sanitation.
The solution
Filtered faucets and fountains for schools
Durable, affordable drinking water and handwashing stations in schools and orphanages help kids grow up healthy and clean.
