Despite economic growth in recent years, millions of households in the Andean and Amazon regions of South America still face persistent obstacles to social and economic development.
Altiplano Ventures is a nonprofit organization that helps communities in these regions improve their quality of life by developing distribution programs for simple tools that address problems related to water, energy, and disease prevention.
Altiplano Ventures currently focuses on distributing ceramic water filters, a technology that allows households to affordably produce clean drinking water and reduces the risk of waterborne illnesses, particularly among young children. Altiplano Ventures ensures the long-term sustainability of its programs through education and monitoring. |
