Tierrafiltra

Tierra Filtra is a water filter made from locally sourced clay that aims to improve the water quality in Puerto Rico.

After hurricanes Maria and Irma struck the island in 2017, a third of the country was left without access to clean water.

The team behind the filter includes Maati, a ceramics studio in Columbia, and the NGO Potters for Peace, which aims to provide the skills and technical support needed to establish ceramic filter factories.
