Agua Pura Para El Pueblo is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization founded to help communities and families obtain safe, clean drinking water and improve their sanitation. Over one billion people world wide lack access to safe water, and a million children die each year due to preventable diarrheal diseases. With a focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, we promote simple small scale methods and techniques that people can use to make their water safe to drink. We also give seminars and demonstrations both in the United States and in Latin America to other nongovernmental organizations and to community groups on methods of water purification.

Promoting healthier more prosperous lives through practical sustainable solutions along the pathways water travels through our lives and the planet. We help communities at risk in Central Mexico confront environmental challenges—access to safe healthy water supplies most of all. We collaborate with technology innovators and social organizations to develop innovative, open-source solutions that address the diverse challenges of water quality and access, and positively impact communities beyond our borders through training and sustainable enterprise development programs.
