The OASISWe found a water spring that has been underused and unequipped for 30+ years, located in a unique place in Kibera, Nairobi with trees and nature. WATERisLIFE decided to create an OASIS: a public space with added value for the community, with a protected water spring, solar power, storage units, a water point for washing and collecting, and a water access point, with our UF filtration system. With this project we are able to help 3,500 people to have safe water, but we didn't do it alone, we partnered with Whispers, a local youth group, for manage it.

Urban Settlement Water ReliefSupported by the Viña del Mar Municipal Council and Chilean insurtech Betterfly , WATERisLIFE has been focused on fighting the water crisis in the Viña del Mar informal settlements. These settlements get their water via trucks that go once or twice a week, and by buying it bottled, which is too expensive. With poor storage capacity, they have to keep the water outside their houses in open plastic containers for days, making drinking unsafe. We gave out 400 units of our UF bucket system, one per family. This means we helped provide clean drinking water to 1,600 people in this community.

Water from Air for PernambucoAtmospheric Water Generation (AWG) is a new technology that is becoming more and more needed in dry areas, where access to water (and clean water) is a major issue. WATERisLIFE partnered with WaterGen, top innovators in the industry, to deploy one of their machines to Pernambuco, Brazil. After many days of testing and learning, as well as educating the community, the system is ready and operational to provide safe water to 500 people in Poço da Cruz.

Amazon Communities Water ReliefIndigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest are in desperate need of drinking water. The Munduruku villages are among them. There are 145 villages occupied by them, with almost 14,000 people. We carried out this project in 2 phases, in which we were able to help a total of 3,600 people thanks to our UF bucket systems. This is part of a broader initiative to bring support to villages in partnership with Saude & Alegria, one of Brazil's largest humanitarian organizations.

The Drops of LIFE
Dique da Vila Gilda in Santos is known for being the biggest stilt-houses favela (slum) in Brazil, with over 25,000 people living without reliable safe water access. We partnered with CHUBB, a global insurance leader, and Arte no Dique, an art institute based at the slum, to create a safe water access point for 5,000 people. We created a new water infrastructure, increased storage capacity, and installed our UF filtration system.
