Learn About Clean Water

Rarely do great things get accomplished alone.

Through our partnerships with World Relief Rwanda and local Rwandan churches, 20 Liters trains volunteers, teaches health and hygiene skills, and delivers clean water solutions to the most vulnerable. From the very beginning, local communities are empowered to be the ones leading the change.

Beatrice and her family got access to clean water for the first time when they received their SAM 3 filter. Now her children only drink clean water and she no longer worries about their water making them sick.

The Filter Has Changed Everything | 20 Liters

Using local volunteers and supplies, we build and install large-capacity water filters in schools and health clinics. Because healthy kids learn better.
