About Us

Mission and Vision

Clean water is the foundation for many of our functioning systems. It provides us with the ability to prepare meals for our families and allows our homes to have proper hygiene and sanitation channels. It gives life to our gardens and livestock, allowing our food systems to reach great lengths. Industries depend on it for production, transportation, and an array of unseen purposes. The planet’s ecosystems rely on its role to purge contaminants, carry nutrients, and sustain life.

Without clean water, many of the systems that our daily activities depend on will collapse. And the truth is that many people have already experienced vulnerabilities in some of these systems due to a variety of reasons, whether affected directly or indirectly. The philosophy behind World Water Reserve is that people should have as much knowledge as possible about the systems that keep their lives functioning. Thus, our purpose is to provide individuals, families, and small communities with the resources necessary for them to live as self-sufficient and peaceful as possible.
