Our cause

SAFE WATER TO 1 BILLION PEOPLE

Every year, over one billion people are harmed by waterborne illnesses. Trough the cutting edge technology we have the potential to kick these diseases to the curb.
Solve the world water crisis through better WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) initiatives, focusing on the invisible water- quality problems by leveraging innovative solutions, projects and partnerships, actively involving the communities where we work. 

We are already providing 6 billion liters of safe drinking water among 1.5 million people within 20 different countries.

​OUR COMMITMENT: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Our framework is in the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda. Although our main objective is to provide clean water and sanitation, we truly believe water is so important that access to it can improve a lot of the community's condition.
Explore the Sustainable Development Goals and how each one of them is related to water: 

Just 29% of the low-income population has access to safely managed drinking water facilities

It takes between 2000 and 5000 liters of water to produce a person’s daily food: 70% of the freshwater available is used for agriculture.

Some 829 000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhea as a result of unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene. (WHO)

In 1 in 4 primary schools, there is no drinking water service. That number drops to 1 in 6 at the secondary school level.

In 80 percent of households experiencing water scarcity, women and girls are responsible for collecting water. This often means having to travel long distances,and carry heavy loads.

Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.

When water comes from improved and more accessible sources, people spend less time and effort physically collecting it, meaning they can be productive in other ways.

The distribution of water resources is unequal among the countries. Some of them have a daily consumption per cápita of 547 liters, while others just 2.

WIL Volunteers, together with the First Lady's (Gabriela de Bukele) team and our Executive Director, María José Terré, visited different locations that lack access to drinking water. During our visit, we handed out more than 1500 Clean Sip Straw Filters, which will provide 2 years of clean and safe water for each one of them.
