Every Child Deserves
Safe Water.
In the Philippines, 60 million people lack access to safe drinking water. 55% of schools have none. We're changing that — one community at a time, from disaster relief to lasting recovery.
The Water Crisis Is Hiding in Plain Sight
The United Nations declares access to clean water a fundamental human right. Yet in the Philippines — a nation of 115 million — 60 million people are denied this right every single day.
People worldwide without clean drinking water— UNICEF
Without access to basic sanitation
Waterborne diseases are the leading health threat to school children in the Philippines
Contaminated water and poor sanitation are among the leading causes of death for children under five. Without safe water, proper sanitation, and hygiene, children face preventable diseases, malnutrition, and a lifetime of disadvantage.
This is not a distant problem. It is happening now, in Mindanao, in the Bangsamoro, in evacuation camps, in classrooms — and it requires action today.
WHO WE ARE

OUR TECHNOLOGY
Portable. Powerful. Proven.
The SkyHydrant Ultrafiltration System — invented by Rhett Butler AM, recipient of the Zayed Sustainability Prize and the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award — is not just a filter. It's a portable water treatment plant that produces safe drinking water anywhere, with no power and no chemicals.
Squirt Ultrafilters
Our smaller, portable units for rapid deployment in evacuation centers, allowing us to serve even the most chaotic disaster zones within 48 hours.
JULY 2024 — JULY 2025

Three Pillars, One Mission
We Bridge the Gap
We are the only organization in the Philippines that seamlessly transitions from emergency response to long-term development — ensuring no community is left without safe water.
When a typhoon strikes, we deploy within 48 hours. When the emergency passes, we don't leave. We work with the community to permanently install systems, turning relief into lasting resilience.
The SkyHydrant & Squirt Advantage
We use cutting-edge, yet simple and robust ultrafiltration technology that delivers safe water anywhere — with no electricity, no chemicals, and no need for traditional infrastructure.
Our portable units can be set up in 20 minutes in a chaotic evacuation center, then later installed as the community's permanent water source. This scalability is key to our impact.
We Don't Do It Alone
We multiply impact by uniting global expertise with local action. Our model is partnership-centric — we are connectors, not just providers.
By partnering with Disaster Aid Australia and SkyJuice Foundation for technology, Rotary Clubs for community reach, and LGUs for local leadership, we create a scalable network that is greater than the sum of its parts.
