Our work in rural and low-income communities

Remora provides the most efficient water filtration technologies to tackle most residential and commercial water issues but Remora is also committed to ending the water crisis worldwide. Our goal through our long-term water filtration devices is to provide clean and potable water to communities that do not have a source of water for their everyday lives and basic human needs.

The Los Guardias community in Corozal was suffering from a lack of drinking water access. Our team visited the community and assessed their water needs. These communities have poor aqueduct infrastructure that was heavily damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017 and make them suffer from a shortage of drinking water for months. The community's main issue alongside clean water access was the amount of money spent related to alternative drinking water solutions. They spent over $100,000 on average yearly to have water in their houses. 

The Remora team installed a system that merges multiple water filtration technologies and filters small debris, chemicals, and biohazards from their nearby river to provide clean water to the community powered by solar energy. The team also established an educational program focused on safe water practices. 

Due to our work with the community, we provided 12,500 individuals with access to potable water, 24.6 million of water filtered for human consumption, and 60% reduction of costs related to alternative drinking water solutions.
