In response to the devastating wildfires that struck Viña del Mar in early 2024, WATERisLIFE built a prefabricated wooden structure—locally known as a mediagua—to serve as a community kitchen and dining hall in Reñaca Alto. The structure directly benefited 120 people and supported ongoing food distribution efforts for families in vulnerable conditions. The project was part of WATERisLIFE’s broader strategy to deliver rapid, dignified responses during emergencies.

This was carried out as part of a corporate volunteer initiative, where Betterfly participated actively in the distribution and training sessions. The project was implemented in collaboration with the Municipality of Viña del Mar and private-sector partners, offering an immediate and dignified solution to a growing structural issue.

This rapid response helped protect more than 400 people from waterborne diseases during a critical moment. In addition to distribution, families received hands-on training in the proper use and maintenance of the filters, enabling them to safeguard their water supply independently—even in times of disaster.
