Amazon Communities Water Relief Project
Jacareacanga, Pará, Brazil
Year: 2023
Impact: 3,600 people
Project Type: Immediate Relief
Local Partner: Saúde & Alegria
Funded by: WATERisLIFE
WATERisLIFE launched a two-phase emergency water project in Jacareacanga to support Munduruku Indigenous communities during one of the Amazon’s worst droughts. In Phase 1, 300 ultrafiltration bucket filters were distributed; in Phase 2, 600 more were delivered to neighboring villages.
In total, over 3,600 people gained access to safe drinking water. The project was implemented with local partner Saúde & Alegria and included training to ensure long-term use and impact in these remote, high-need areas.
