Giveback Homes Members Donate First 100 Water Filters

Giveback Homes Members donated the first 100 water filters this summer, providing access to clean water for one community and five schools in El Salvador. 

On March 22nd, 2017, World Water Day, Giveback Homes partnered with Waves For Water to give Members the opportunity to provide not only safe homes, but access to clean water for families in need. Since then, Giveback Homes Members have donated over 100 water filters on behalf of their clients. Waves For Water recently traveled to El Salvador to deliver the water filters, and below is a recap of their journey.
