Current Projects

LAOS

In 2011 we established our training compound and filter production facility in Vientiane to produce and distribute ceramic water filters to communities all around Laos. These filters are distributed through our vendor networks, and demand for locally produced, low-cost ceramic water filters continues to grow.

Since beginning our operations in Laos, we have trained 192 vendors and distributed 11,670 handmade ceramic water filters, reaching 103,881 beneficiaries throughout the country!

Timor-Leste

Abundant Water arrived in Timor-Leste in November 2018 through support from Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) and our in-country partner, Fokupers. We were awarded an Australian Aid Friendship Grant in late 2018 and used this opportunity to kick-start our pilot project in Timor-Leste.

To date, we have distributed more than 9,690 filters through our partner organisation Fokupers, as well as through private sales by 75 of our trained vendors. Our filters have reached over 69,561 beneficiaries to date as our impact continues to grow.

Throwback to 2018 when our team travelled to a village in the beautiful province of Luang Prabang. We had the pleasure of installing a water filter in their village as a part of our Laos project.
