Description
Surge invests in communities through safe water and sanitation solutions to help end the cycle of poverty. We're passionate about water because it touches so many areas of life: health, education, economic development, the environment, and more. Where there is safe water, there is a chance for a better future.
We have provided hundreds of thousands of people in 11 countries access to safe water and sanitation. We are currently active in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Philippines, and Uganda. Our solutions include water filtration systems, water access points such as wells, springs and rain water harvesting, and household and community latrines. We also deliver signature WASH (Water Access, Sanitation & Hygiene) and Menstrual Hygiene Management training.
