WATERisLIFE and CHUBB launched a project in Dique da Vila Gilda, a vulnerable stilt-house community in Santos. The initiative included installing a central water point with ultrafiltration, expanded storage, and piping.

Additionally, two outdoor taps were installed, allowing community members to access clean water whenever needed.
