The Yucatan jungles in Mexico are home to remote Mayan communities that do not receive government aid and source contaminated ground water as their region is famous for having. We were able to educate and install the communities there on how to maintain and use a silver line ceramic filter that will keep their families safe. The natural underground water systems of the Yucatan are one of the most unique in the world but with only 1/3 of the Yucatan peninsula using waste water treatment systems many impurities and contaminants are able to spread fast.
