Project Hydro is an initiative focused on expanding access to clean drinking water in underserved communities by creating a low‑cost, handheld filtration device. The team plans to collaborate with university experts in environmental and mechanical engineering to design an effective and durable product. With access to investor galas, the project aims to secure funding so the filters can be distributed completely free of charge. Project Hydro currently operates through eight South American chapters in impoverished regions, including areas of Brazil and Colombia, ensuring the work stays community‑centered and locally informed.
