Emergency Response – Safe Water for Barra do Sahy
Barra do Sahy, Brazil
2023
Impact: 400 people
Project Type: Immediate Relief
Funded by: Betterfly
Following severe flooding in Barra do Sahy that displaced dozens of families, WATERisLIFE launched an emergency intervention to restore access to safe drinking water. In partnership with volunteers from Chilean insurtech Betterfly, 100 ultrafiltration bucket filters were distributed to affected households.
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.
