Water 4 Life Global is a women-led 501c3 nonprofit working on the ground in Guatemala to provide clean water to indigenous communities. Through the distribution of water filter technology, we help provide families with access to clean water they can drink, cook and clean with.
We imagine a life free of water transmitted diseases, water toxins, malnutrition, and environmental damage, in a country that maintains each of these issues as very viable threats to the communities
and ecosystems. 95% of the water in Guatemala is dangerous to drink, mainly due to pollution, poor infrastructure, and unregulated sewage systems. Together, we can help heal the environment and health of families who rely on their waterways as a source of potable water. Spreading awareness about the global water crisis and ways to help is crucial to our mission.
At the Green Tent, we will demonstrate how our village water filter works and share the
environmental issues Guatemala faces. You will have the opportunity to donate a filter and receive unique, hand-woven textiles made by a women's cooperative in Guatemala. Each piece was created using sustainable materials, natural dyes, and patterns that express the deep Mayan culture. Come by and share the love!
