Meet the Water Women

All 140 Sawyer partners use unique, intentional programming to train individuals on how to use Sawyer Water Filtration Systems.

Water By Women educates women on how to use and repair their filtration systems, and empowers them to become respected Water Women in their communities. A Water Woman is empowered for the wellness of her family with a Sawyer filter and general health information. In return, she makes a sacred commitment to filter healthy drinking water for three other households besides her own.

Driven by compassion and guided by science for better health, Water by Women has trained 164,527 Water Women in over 48 countries.

Sawyer helps to disperse filters, insect repellent, and sunscreen to impacted communities. When disasters strike, Sawyer filters are often on site within the first 48 hours. This was true for Hurricanes Milton and Helene, which ravaged the Southern Appalachians in 2024. Entire counties were on a boil water notice with no end in sight. 

Being the perfect solution to bacteria-ridden and sediment-filled water, Sawyer donated over 24,000 filters to the region affected by the hurricanes. From empowering individuals to gearing up groups including churches, air drops, and SAR teams, we’re proud of the impact we were able to make together.

Ki sa ki se yon fanm dlo?

To recognize the 15 Year Anniversary of our first clean water initiative, Sawyer returned to the site of our first install – Tegucigalpa, Honduras - to celebrate! In 2023 we reunited with our original partner, Water By Women, to throw a Clean Water Quinceañeara in a cloud forest. We met over 150 "Water Women" and witnessed Sawyer filters that were in daily use for over a decade.

To help document the trip and the stories of the Water Women, we invited creator, outdoor educator, and industry expert Miranda Webster of Miranda Goes Outside.

The Marshall Islands may be small in terms of land mass, but cover a massive area of the Pacific Ocean about halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Travel to these islands is difficult. To say these islands are remote is an understatement.

How Long do the Filters Last?

On our visit to Honduras, we met original Water Women who had been filtering water for their communities with the exact same filters for over a decade.

Their secret? Proper cleaning after each use.

The Process 

  1. Assess- The process begins with a door-to-door census for each community and pathogen testing of the local water sources. This ensures that the Sawyer water filter is an appropriate solution for the area.
  2. Distribute- Once the true scope of clean water scarcity and the effectiveness of the Sawyer filter to treat it, a systematic distribution begins. ‍
  3. Follow up - The Bucket Ministry team visits every household at least three times to follow up. During these visits the team member ensures the daily maintenance is being performed correctly to achieve its long-term effectiveness.

Help Videos

The QR code printed on our filters brings users to our website's help page, where they can select one of the ten available languages. When in-person demonstrations and training are impossible, users are able to learn everything they need to know about their filter at the point of use. 

The QR codes can also be scanned into GIS survey software for monitoring and evaluation of the filters. This replaces the bar codes that were previously used.

Partners

Since 2008, Sawyer has teamed up with over 140 non-profits in more than 80 countries to provide personal filtration systems to communities lacking access to clean drinking water. Since the first install, Sawyer and our partners have impacted over 28 million lives.

90% of @sawyerproducts profits go to our mission of providing clean water. Our dream is to grow the business and give it away. We have big dreams to do things that people said would be impossible to do.
