Planet Water Foundation In Honduras
Planet Water Foundation’s work in Honduras commenced in 2023 with the objective of addressing the issues around access to safe drinking water in the country.
Our work is focused on the deployment of our AquaTower water filtration systems which we have begun to deploy in elementary schools in Honduras in conjunction with our water health and hygiene education program. Together, our solutions are helping to bring clean, safe water access to students, teachers and members of the communities surrounding our project sites.
Currently, our focus is on clean water projects in Tegucigalpa.
