The challenge
Access to safe water in Colombia is a challenge for a significant proportion of the country’s population of 51 million people. According to UN and UNICEF data, 26% of households in Colombia lack access to a safely managed water supply and 41% lack safe sanitation.

Since 2014
Planet Water Foundation’s work in Colombia started in 2014 and since then, we have deployed over 60 clean water projects, providing access to clean, safe water to over 110,000 people.
Our work is focused on the deployment of our AquaTower water filtration systems which have been installed in elementary schools 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 Bogotá.
