"We’ve already seen a decline in children's participation in activities due to the lack of an adequate volume of water available for consumption during the sessions."

The “Água de Beber” project, a partnership between Água Camelo and the Alok Institute, directly impacted more than 30,000 people in six states across the Northeast region of Brazil. The initiative was implemented between June and July 2024, reaching 21 cities during the São João festivities, with the goal of providing access to treated water for communities in social vulnerability. Through the installation of 20 Water Distribution Points (WDPs), the project enabled residents of these regions to collect potable water for domestic use, eliminating the risk of consuming contaminated water. Each WDP was equipped with Água Camelo’s filtration technology, capable of providing up to 1,000 liters of treated water per hour, ensuring a continuous and safe supply for the communities. In addition to the installations, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) workshops were held to train communities on hygiene practices and the prevention of waterborne diseases. The success of the “Água de Beber” project reflects the commitment of Água Camelo and the Alok Institute to sustainable development and improving the quality of life in vulnerable areas. Through strategic partnerships and technological innovations, the initiative reinforces the importance of access to treated water as a universal right and essential for human dignity.
"We’ve already seen a decline in children's participation in activities due to the lack of an adequate volume of water available for consumption during the sessions."
"We were currently buying 8 gallons a day. Not anymore. Thank God, there are people in the world — especially in Brazil — with the intention of doing good without expecting anything in return."
