Water filtration equipment for humanitarian aid and independent living
Empowering each and every one of us to be resilient in the face of the water crisis
Water crisis a global issue at the heart of concerns
In 2024, access to drinking water is still not a universal reality. This vital resource is dwindling and its availability to all is even more uncertain, particularly for the most vulnerable populations. Developed countries are also confronted with drinking water supply problems, due in particular to climate change, the depletion of water tables and water wastage, all of which lead to shortages, restrictions and shortages that can last from time to time or even longer.In 2024, access to drinking water is still not a universal reality.

Deprivation of drinking water
1 in 3 people in the world do not have access to safe water, i.e. 2.2 billion people who do not have access to safe drinking water supply services - UNICEF, WHO

Climate change
5 billion people will be affected by water shortages by 2050, due to climate change (droughts, floods, etc.), which is degrading the quality and availability of drinking water - WMO

Humanitarian commitment
100 ORISA® purchased = 1 ORISA® donated for humanitarian work.
To help vulnerable populations, we are giving away one ORISA® deployed in a humanitarian context for every 100 ORISA® purchased for use by private individuals. This programme is aimed at humanitarian projects in the form of donations of purifiers. Together, we are helping to ensure that everyone has universal access to clean water. NGOs and associations, share your humanitarian projects linked to access to water with us to receive ORISA®s!

Fonto de vivo
A socially committed company specialising in water treatment
David Monnier and Anthony Cailleau, a former emergency humanitarian with a passion for development, founded Fonto de vivo in 2017 and built up a small team of committed and agile talent in France and internationally. Together, their ambition is to combat water insecurity in humanitarian contexts by providing autonomous solutions to NGOs.
In 2023, access to drinking water is still not a universal reality for more than 2.2 billion people around the world. This vital resource is dwindling and its availability to all is even more uncertain. Developed countries are also facing problems with their drinking water supplies, due in particular to climate change, which is responsible for increasing drought, the depletion of groundwater, and water wastage, leading to shortages, restrictions and shortages that can last from time to time or even longer.
Fonto de vivo gives each and every one of us the power to be resilient in the face of the water crisis.
