COMPARTIR

The partnership between Eko Group H2O+, Postobón, Recon, Reckitt, and One Young World is delivering impactful results. We're bringing clean drinking water to the Colombian Caribbean coast, benefiting 8 schools in Santa Marta, Malambo, and Guachaca. Over 7,800 students are being served with 8 Ekomuro systems, which collectively recover up to 9,800 liters of rainwater each month.

We provided training to 400 students and teachers on water conservation, environmental awareness, and circular technology, fostering youth leadership. Additionally, 16 water guardians were appointed to oversee the Ekotechnologies and promote environmental stewardship.

We recycled 344 kilograms of plastic to manufacture 168 plastic jerrycans and 16 water purification filters. This initiative indirectly benefits more than 31,000 people.
