Project Overview

In July of 2023 we celebrated the completion of a multi-year project that brought clean water to every household in the Marshall Islands.


The Marshall Islands will be the second developing country in history to reach this achievement as described by UN Sustainability Goal #6. In 2020 Liberia was the first country to reach this goal, made possible by a 5 year distribution of Sawyer filters.

पूरे देश में स्वच्छ पानी की पहुंच हो रही है!

The Marshall Islands may be small in terms of land mass, but cover a massive area of the pacific ocean about half way between Hawaii and Australia. To say these islands are remote is an understatement. Traveling to these islands is difficult.

A Remote, Resilient Nation

जीवंत, फ़िरोज़ा पानी का दावा करते हुए, मार्शल द्वीप हवाई और फिलीपींस के बीच एटोल की एक श्रृंखला है। राष्ट्र को जलवायु परिवर्तन के लिए ग्राउंड-जीरो के रूप में चित्रित किया गया है और एक वर्ष में केवल 6,000 आगंतुकों के साथ, दुनिया में दूसरा सबसे कम दौरा किया जाने वाला देश है। सुरक्षित, पीने योग्य पानी यह सुनिश्चित करने की कुंजी है कि मार्शल संस्कृति जीवित रहे।

Tangible Life Change

सॉयर दुनिया भर के घरों में स्वच्छ पेयजल समाधान लाने के लिए 80 देशों में 140 से अधिक संगठनों के साथ साझेदारी करता है। 2008 से, हमने अपने भागीदारों के साथ अपने निस्पंदन सिस्टम पर व्यक्तियों को प्रशिक्षित करने वाले स्थानीय नेतृत्व वाले कार्यक्रमों को पूरा करने के लिए काम किया है। जीआईएस तकनीक का उपयोग करते हुए, ये प्रशिक्षक प्रारंभिक फ़िल्टर वितरण के बाद फॉलो-अप की एक श्रृंखला में फ़िल्टर प्राप्तकर्ताओं के स्वास्थ्य और कल्याण की जानकारी भी कैप्चर करेंगे।

Close to Home

Sawyer helps to disperse filters, insect repellent, and sunscreen to impacted communities. When disasters strike, Sawyer filters are often on site within the first 48 hours. This was true for Hurricanes Milton and Helene, which ravaged the Southern Appalachians in 2024. Entire counties were on a boil water notice with no end in sight. 

Being the perfect solution to bacteria-ridden and sediment-filled water, Sawyer donated over 24,000 filters to the region affected by the hurricanes. From empowering individuals to gearing up groups including churches, air drops, and SAR teams, we’re proud of the impact we were able to make together.

Kora in Okrane - meaning “women who rise at dawn” - was founded 17 years ago entirely by volunteers. Since then, KIO has tackled a wide range of community needs from installing smokeless stoves in homes to hosting children’s reading events. 

The project to bring clean water to every single person in the Marshall Islands began 6 years ago by prioritizing the most vulnerable of their community on the outer islands as the first filter recipients. KIO volunteers worked with traditional women leaders to ensure that everyone on the islands understood how to use and maintain the filters, and in July of 2023 the project to secure clean water for every household in the Marshall Islands was officially completed.

The Process 

  1. Assess- The process begins with a door-to-door census for each community and pathogen testing of the local water sources. This ensures that the Sawyer water filter is an appropriate solution for the area.
  2. Distribute- Once the true scope of clean water scarcity and the effectiveness of the Sawyer filter to treat it, a systematic distribution begins. 
  3. Follow up - The Bucket Ministry team visits every household at least three times to follow up. During these visits the team member ensures the daily maintenance is being performed correctly to achieve its long-term effectiveness.
Caption: “In the beginning, drinking this water often made us sick. I am grateful to The Bucket Ministry for providing us with a bucket filter that purifies our water, now we no longer get sick or suffer from diarrhea. Now we filter clean water and we are healthy.”
