Corporate Volunteer Program –
Safe Water for Villas de Ancón

In 2025, WATERisLIFE partnered with Ripley Perú and local NGO Fundación Juguete Pendiente to carry out a corporate volunteer initiative in Villas de Ancón, a community on the outskirts of Lima with no access to a public water network. Residents rely entirely on water trucks, which often deliver only once a week—or in some cases, every nine days. When water is delivered, families rush to fill as many containers as possible, where the water often sits stagnant for days, increasing the risk of waterborne illnesses.

As part of the program, Ripley volunteers distributed 50 household ultrafiltration bucket systems, providing over 200 people with immediate access to safe drinking water. The experience not only brought meaningful impact to the community but also offered company staff a powerful way to engage in hands-on, purpose-driven work.
