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
Didace Munyemana is the Foreman for 20 Liters in Rwanda. He and his team of volunteer technicians build rainwater harvest systems and SAM2 filters. For Didace, his job is his passion and it shows in every system he builds. His love for his country and his passion for clean water inspires his volunteers. We are so grateful Didace is a part of our team. http://20liters.org

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