Long-term Solutions

 
 

Access to clean water is one of the world’s greatest needs. But many water projects last only a few years. To end the global water crisis for good, we need more than just wells and filters.

33 Buckets partners with communities in need of clean water to launch self-sustaining community water franchises. This empowers local populations to permanently solve their water issues.

Lives Changed

Over 8,500 lives improved through clean water and sanitation.

Throwback Thursday! This picture was taken in 2018 in the community of Occopata. There, our team worked with a local primary school to install a micro filtration system to provide clean water to all the students! While there, we also taught kids about water cycles and sanitation through our WASH seminar. Since 2018, we’ve continued to work with Occopata by providing water manager trainings, treatment system improvements, and even another filtration system at the school. Today, this community of over 1,000 people is able to drink safe water, thanks to the support from our partners and donors! Our team is headed back to Peru very soon, so make sure to follow us to stay updated on this summer’s projects!

In the Cusco region of Peru, many communities have water management teams known as JASS (Juntas Administradoras de Servicios de Saneamiento) who are responsible for the communities’ water and sanitation systems. JASS groups are made up of community members, elected by the community, to serve as a water and sanitation manager for two years. 33 Buckets works directly with JASS groups to provide supplemental training and essential resources for them to be successful. This year, new JASS groups were elected in the Ccorca District of Cusco. Our local partner, Angelica, recently visited the community of Totora to meet with the new water management team, hosting lessons on water treatment and water monitoring. We look forward to continuing our support of JASS groups in Ccorca, and we look forward to joining Angelica in Cusco in just a few months!

A Letter of Thanks - My Journey with 33 Buckets
Daniel Hoop

It is with a profound sense of gratitude that I will be stepping down from my position as Executive Director of 33 Buckets. 

Since joining the team in 2017, I have served the organization as an intern, volunteer, and eventually as its director and leader. Over these six years, 33 Buckets has given me the opportunity to spend a total of over 2 years abroad visiting and working in 35+ communities in the Cusco region of Peru.
