Everything that happened during May

ARGENTINA - Campo Limpio

Great news! Together with Campo Limpio, we implemented technology for access to safe water in 5 rural community spaces (schools and health centers) in Salta and Chaco. We managed to impact over 1200 boys and girls, providing them with access to safe water, making a real difference in their quality of life. [More Info]

BRAZIL - Sanofi?

Since 2020, Agua Segura and Sanofi have worked to combat infant mortality from diarrhea in Brazil. Thanks to the "You buy and Enterogermina donates" campaign, we have delivered more than 50 safe water filters to communities in northern Brazil, benefiting over 20,000 people. By 2024, we plan to reach an additional 80 communities.

SPAIN- Microsoft?

In collaboration with Microsoft, we are implementing a project that utilizes Agrow Analytics technology to automate irrigation recommendations, improving water efficiency and saving 100,000 m3/year from 2024 to 2030. It also includes training for farmers, who receive weekly irrigation recommendations and monitoring.

CHILE - Microsoft

Together with Microsoft, we worked to improve access to safe water in Chilean communities, benefiting nearly 4,000 people and over 1,000 students. This project is part of their sustainability program "Water Positive."

COLOMBIA- Grundfos?

In rural areas near Bogotá, Colombia, we implement the Active Safe Water Schools program in collaboration with Grundfos and in partnership with América Solidaria. In 2024, we implemented 30 programs, benefiting over 6,400 children and youth by providing access to over 3,000,000 liters of safe water. [Watch the video]

?? Updates from the field

?? Our team recently spent inspiring days in Rio de Janeiro!

Some trip highlights:

?? Witnessing the introduction of safe water initiatives for the first time in these communities is motivating. Seeing the direct impact of our efforts reminded us of the importance of our mission.

?? The presence of Microsoft Brazil & TETO on the ground is crucial. Together, we strive not only to provide practical solutions but also to make a positive impact on organizations and their employees.

Flood risk is increasing dramatically due to heavier rains and storms fueled by climate change, socioeconomic factors such as population growth and increased development near coasts and rivers, and land subsidence driven by overdrawing groundwater.?
