Safe Water for Families in the Dominican Republic

In 2012, H2O4ALL partnered with Wine to Water to bring safe water to water-stressed areas of the Dominican Republic. With simple point-of-use water filters, we’ve brought safe water to tens of thousands of people in struggling communities – one family at a time. 

 

Since the project’s beginning more than a decade ago, we’ve returned to the Dominican Republic periodically to continue expanding the project. Last summer, we traveled to the community of La Colorada Abajo in Puerto Plata with a volunteer team to distribute safe water filters to more than 40 families. 

During the trip, volunteers assisted workers at our local filter factory in making and distributing filters. A community water fair gave volunteers the chance to interact with the local community and educate families about the use and maintenance of their brand-new filters.
