Karito programme - 2024 retrospective

What is the Karito programme?
Karito (charity in Esperanto) is our solidarity programme, which consists of donating 1% of our annual turnover to water access projects.
In 2024, 20 ORISA® water purifiers were donated to 4 different projects.

Initial distribution of water filters renewed on a larger scale
Thanks to the Karito programme, 4 ORISA® purifiers were donated to our partner Brasimpex as part of a roll-out of 5 units in the Quilombo Guarima community.
To support this project, public players provided training in good hygiene practices and the importance of drinking clean water. The purifiers have enabled the beneficiary community to have access to clean water, thereby reducing the incidence of water-borne diseases.
Follow-up visits were carried out to assess how well the beneficiaries were adapting to using the ORISA® water purifiers, and following a positive assessment, a further 25 units were deployed in this Brazilian community.

The ORISA® water filter in a medical caravan
At the beginning of January 2025, the Amoddou association travelled to Benin as part of its 3rd medical caravan.
In 2022, the association had already benefited from an ORISA® water filter during its medical caravan to Guinea.
ORISA® was used to provide healthy water to those receiving treatment, but also to give the Amoddou team access to clean water, free from viruses and bacteria.

For the coming year, we would like to direct donations towards children's projects

Supporting children in the face of the water crisis
To defend children's fundamental rights, access to water, sanitation and hygiene is essential for their health, dignity and education, the pillars of a fair and sustainable future.
