Sawyer x Kora in Okrane

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 "Miracle Bucket"

El Sawyer Bucket System es el sistema de filtración al que recurren las comunidades remotas que necesitan acceso a agua potable limpia. Todos los proyectos de agua limpia de Sawyers incorporan su filtro de membrana de fibra hueca absoluta de 0,1 micras de alto rendimiento, que elimina el 99,99999% de todas las bacterias, como la salmonela, el cólera y la E. coli, el 99,9999% de todos los protozoos, como la giardia y el criptosporidio, y el 100% de los microplásticos.
