In Lima, according to sources like the National Superintendence of Sanitation Services (SUNASS), and international studies, it’s estimated that around 1.5 million people lack adequate access to safe drinking water, approximately 10-15% of the city's population relies on water trucks or informal water sources, which often involve higher costs and lower quality, exacerbating inequality in access to clean water. This issue primarily affects the outskirts and informal settlements of the city.

YAKU means “Water” in Quechua, a language predominantly spoken in the Andean regions of South America. This initiative aims to provide high-quality drinking water by installing water filters.
We seek to strengthen the immune system of those in communities affected by the lack of this vital public service.
The filter provided by Manos Que Suman has a lifespan of up to 4 years, offering a sustainable and reliable solution for clean water access.
By using this filter, families in remote or underserved areas can reduce their dependency on contaminated water sources, significantly improving their health and well-being.
This long-lasting solution is essential for communities where access to clean water is limited, empowering them to enjoy a better quality of life.
