The last financial year has been massive for Abundant Water. Between the commencement of our long-awaited campaign in the Philippines, to our partnerships with Engineers Without Borders and the Australian National University in Timor-Leste. We thought we would kick off this year’s beneficiary numbers in Laos – the country that started it all.

Below are the figures for Abundant Water’s filter production and distribution in Laos for the 2021-22 financial year:

559 vendor-made filters were distributed to Lao locals
357 households were fitted with Abundant Water’s filters
120 schools fitted with our water filters (with 6,000 students and teachers on average per school)
934 water filters produced

Abundant Water’s reach throughout the 2021-22 financial year:

2,150 total beneficiaries
3 new vendors were fully trained in Laos
8,150 more people with access to clean drinking water in Laos

Abundant Water’s historical numbers in Laos:

11,670 total filters distributed throughout Abundant Water’s history
103,881 people given improved access to clean water throughout Abundant Water’s history
192 total vendors trained

These milestones would not be possible without the hard work of our teams on the ground, our locally-trained vendors, and all of our beneficiaries. We hope to see many more communities thrive as we move into the next financial year.
