La Paz, El Salvador
2023
Impact: 1,500 people
Project Type: Immediate Relief
Local Partner: Office of the First Lady, Gabriela de Bukele

WATERisLIFE partnered with the Office of the First Lady, Gabriela de Bukele, to deliver emergency safe water solutions to schools in the La Paz department. By distributing Magic Straw personal filtration systems, 1,500 people—mostly children—gained immediate access to clean drinking water. In many parts of the region, families rely on costly bottled water or unsafe sources. The availability of this simple filtration technology helped protect against waterborne diseases while easing the financial burden on vulnerable households.
