Pure Water for the World

Pure Water for the World is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to improve the health and livelihood of children and families, living in underserved communities in Central America and the Caribbean, by providing effective tools and education to establish sustainable safe water, hygiene and sanitation solutions. Established in 1994 as a project by members of the Brattleboro (VT) Rotary Club, Pure Water for the World became a 501(c)(3) organization in 1999. To date, we have reached more than 200 communities, serving over 750,000 individuals across Haiti and Latin America. We focus on sustainability, delivering comprehensive, long-term safe water solutions to rural and underserved communities. Through the combined use of clean water filters, latrines, extensive hygiene and sanitation education, and a thorough follow-up and monitoring program, we have effectively reduced the incidences of illnesses and deaths caused by contaminated water in communities served. Our vision is a world in which all people have safe water, proper sanitation and the knowledge to sustain it for future generations. You can help.
