Hydration is Key
Around the world, 2.2 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water systems. 115 million have no access other than surface water to drink. Millions of hours are spent each day walking to gather water.
The problem is, this water is making people chronically sick - costing them time, resources, and sometimes their lives.
20 Liters provides clean water filter systems to the vulnerable populations in Rwanda. Our filters will make dirty water clean for 10+ years. Whether it's a SAM3 household filter, a SAM2 community filter (for schools and health clinics), or a rain water harvest system, the numbers don't lie: $10 gets one person clean water for 10+ years.
Join our mission to make clean, safe water a reality for all.

Run2Rwanda 2025
Do you need a reason to get outside, get active, and make a difference? We will give you 50,000 reasons.
20 Liters makes dirty water clean by assembling water filters locally in Grandville, MI, and then sending them to the most vulnerable in Rwanda. Our shipping container (containering enough filters to benefit 50,000 people with clean water for 10+ years) will travel 7,600 miles to reach Kigali Rwanda in early 2026. We need your help to get it there!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to join our team and start tracking your miles (running, walking, biking...it's all good!). Our hope is collectively to run/walk/bike 7,600 miles by October 19. Share this mission and progress with your friends and family and get them to support your efforts. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to cover shipping for all the filters in early 2026.
For those who choose, our training will culminate on October 19 at the Grand Rapids Marathon. Run with us in the 5k, 10, half marathon, or full. It's your choice. Not local to West Michigan? Find a local race and have a ball. If you're a biker...make your miles count for clean water with us as well. We have a lot of ground to cover! There are plenty of races you can train for as well.
Everyone who registers to run/walk/bike with us and raise funds will get a cool 20 Liters t-shirt and other swag along the way. Click "Register Now" to get started. Then get outside and get active!
