Waves For Water

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, clean water access in western North Carolina, especially around Asheville, has become a critical issue. Flooding and contamination have left thousands without safe drinking water. Clean Water Corps and Waves for Water, in partnership with local organizations, is stepping up with a direct, on-the-ground response. Using portable water filtration systems, we’re working to restore access to clean water for affected communities—focusing on remote areas where infrastructure has been hit hardest. Here’s how we’re making it happen: - Deploying 500 water filters to families, shelters, and community centers - Training locals on how to use and maintain these systems - Partnering with community leaders to sustain long-term access to clean water This work isn’t just about immediate relief—it’s about building resilience with the tools to maintain water security for the long haul.  Any support goes a long way in helping the people of Asheville recover and rebuild.

This is Eladio Guevarra, Barangay Captain of Barangay Tugas in Tanjay, Negros Oriental, Philippines. Since childhood, Eladio faced the challenge of fetching water from a well 2.5 kilometers away, making three trips daily in the early hours. His dream was to ease this burden for his community, and as Barangay Captain, he made it a reality. Driven by his past hardships and the current struggle with El Niño, Eladio prioritized water access, creating an elevated water tank to ensure no one endures the same hardships he did. Earlier this year, we partnered with Eladio to bring 50 filtration systems to Tanjay, helping families who still face difficulties accessing clean water. Thank you to community champions like Eladio for your unwavering dedication and inspiring leadership that we can all learn from.  Help us continue supporting communities like Barangay Tugas by donating today. https://lnkd.in/gGfUpxK2 #WavesForWater #PeopleHelpingPeople #WaterForAll #WaterIsAHumanRight #CleanWaterForAll

On March 9, 2024, we partnered with Jacobs Phillippines to bring clean water to the community of Sitio Iwiw, Brgy. Laiban, in Tanay, Rizal.

Our recent trip to Ecuador’s Manta province was all about reconnecting with our roots at Waves For Water: Do what you love and help along the way.  Partnering with the incredible chef and surfer @rodrigopacheco_bocavaldivia, we implemented filters, trained local champions, and aimed to inspire future generations to continue the efforts of providing clean drinking water to those who need it. It was an honor to work alongside and share waves with Rodrigo. Big thanks to @dockerskhakis for supporting this initiative.

The Tau’t Batu Tribe, also known as the ‘People of the Rock,’ is the last discovered tribe in the Philippines. Last June, in partnership with the Jesus V. Del Rosario Foundation @jvr_foundation we visited them in Palawan. On our first day, we held our filter implementation in Barangay Ransang, where we were given the opportunity to train the community how to use, build, and maintain the filters to ensure they last up to 10 years. On the second day, our teams visited the Tau’t Batu Tribe, which was a half-day walk from the Barangay Center to see their water source. The tribe members rely on water from springs or streams, which often becomes muddy during the rainy season, leading to illnesses like diarrhea. The nearest health center is a 7-kilometer walk away. Through our partnership with JVR Foundation, we helped provide clean water access to 117 households from the Tau’t Batu Tribe, in hopes that it will safeguard the health of the entire community. . . .
