Campaign “For the Right to Breathe Clean Air
and Access to Safe Water” – Manaus

WATERisLIFE collaborated with the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative (IRI Brasil) to launch the campaign “For the Right to Breathe Clean Air and Access to Safe Water” in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state. The campaign brought together religious leaders, Indigenous communities, and civil society members to confront the escalating threats of forest fires, extreme drought, and heatwaves in the Amazon.

As part of this initiative, 250 household ultrafiltration bucket filters were distributed, providing families with immediate access to safe drinking water.

This effort marked the start of a coordinated response across the Legal Amazon region and formed part of IRI Brasil’s broader mission to safeguard the rainforest, protect public health, and promote climate justice through collaboration with local communities and institutions.
