Bringing lifelong access to safe drinking water
Over the last 20 years, 1001fontaines has built evidence of our model’s sustainability and impact, leveraging safe drinking water to improve the lives of vulnerable populations.
Today, 4.4 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water.
For 80% of them, the issue is not the availability of water itself, but rather the quality of the water they consume—leading to devastating consequences for their health.
1001fontaines is a non-profit organization that designs and deploys innovative safe drinking water solutions.
Through the set-up of resilient water purification infrastructures and the delivery of refillable 20-liter bottles, it offers affordable, convenient, and sustainable services to underserved communities. Our approach combines impact and sustainability: we build the capacity of our local partners and support them until they reach scale and financial viability.
