🇻🇪 VENEZUELA UPDATE:

One month after the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, the recovery effort continues.

💙 SUPPORT THIS EFFORT and learn more here:
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/venearthquake2026

The latest reports estimate more than 5,500 lives lost and 16,000 people injured, but statistics only tell part of the story. Families remain displaced, children are living in temporary shelters, and communities are rebuilding in the face of unimaginable loss.

On the ground, our partner Fundación Doulos has mobilized pre-positioned WaterStep equipment to provide safe water in shelters and safe spaces serving children and families.

In collaboration with CEV and Fundación Alianzas Solidarias, these efforts hope to combat a heartbreaking increase in the vulnerability of orphaned and displaced children, making the support at these safe spaces more important than ever.

📦 We are coordinating our next shipment:
💧 40 additional WaterStep BleachMakers + 25 MX100s
🍽️ 65,000 meals donated by Love the Hungry
💙 Rehydration kits provided by NormaLyte

With our partners, we will use our resources to establish more safe water and disinfectant hubs and meet urgent needs while supporting communities through the long recovery ahead.

To everyone who has already given, THANK YOU. During a season when crises seem to touch every corner of the world, your generosity is bringing safe water, nourishment, and hope to families who need it most.

It's rare, but sometimes everything just aligns. Today that happened and you better believe it's exciting.

WaterStep is honored to announce a new partnership with WorldServe International and GALMOBILE. We each strive to empower communities with practical, sustainable solutions that bring safe water to people when they need it most.

We each have different strengths. Different technologies. One shared mission.

By combining Galmobile's innovative off-road water-treatment vehicle with WaterStep's WOWCart™ system and WorldServe International's global network, we're creating new possibilities for disaster response and for reaching places others can't. All while providing safe water from rivers, floodwaters, and even seawater.

Today wasn't just about unveiling new equipment.

It was about celebrating what can happen when organizations set aside individual recognition and work together toward something bigger than themselves.

Here's to new partnerships, new possibilities, and the lives that will be changed because of them.

Stay tuned. More to come.

🦠EBOLA RESPONSE UPDATE:

In partnership with IsraAID and Congo Connect and Thrive, WaterStep is shipping another 100 BleachMakers to join the fight against Ebola in DRC.

Teams on the ground have been busy manufacturing bleach and training other groups to make their own in Mwongbwalu.

Currently, we have installed 170 handwashing stations at clinics, schools and in public spaces.

Over the coming days we will be training IsraAID teams and distributing these additional BleachMakers where they are needed most.

Thank you to our partners and supporters that make this work possible. We are currently working with partners in Colombia and making plans to send equipment to aid in the Venezuela earthquake response.
