FilterPure is a U.S. non–profit 501(c)3 organization focused on solving the problem of contaminated drinking water world-wide. FilterPure works in developing countries to facilitate production of a ceramic water filter that eliminates turbidity and micro bacteria at a rate of 99.9%. The filters are produced to be affordable and accessible to those who have little resources and are at high risk of exposure to contaminated water. FilterPure is committed to enabling sustainable enterprise, providing a quality product and service, and educating people about sanitation, hygiene and life styles – while always maintaining respect for the culture and the individual.

"Filter Pure has a simple and sustainable solution to provide clean and safe drinking water to people with the greatest need.   The ceramic water filter has proven to be a simple, yet effective, way to treat contaminated water at the household level in developing countries.  FilterPure is producing a third world application of high quality water filters, and it is doing so in a way that is adaptable and sustainable for countries with limited or no infrastructure.  I have worked along side FilterPure and have seen their commitment to the implementation of sustainable ceramic water filter projects world-wide; reducing poverty by providing employment opportunities; improving human survival and well-being; and, educating the population on health, sanitation, and life style issues. If we are serious about reducing the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water, we should get behind projects like this one and make a change in the world now."
