Safe Water Access for Munduruku
Indigenous Communities

WATERisLIFE launched a two-phase water relief initiative in the Munduruku Indigenous communities in Jacareacanga, deep in the Brazilian Amazon. These communities—spread across 145 villages—faced a severe water crisis due to contamination of natural sources and geographic isolation.

In the first phase, 300 ultrafiltration bucket filters were distributed, providing families with a simple and immediate solution to safely filter river and surface water. A second phase followed, doubling the distribution to a total of 600 families and directly benefiting 2,400 people.
