TerraClear Foundation
Filters, education and follow-up working together.
Our solution isn't just a one-time fix. It's a long-term intervention designed so a water filter is placed where it's needed, gets used correctly, and keeps cleaning water for years to come.
What your support funds.
Programs that remove the risk from drinking water, providing vulnerable families and school children access to their basic human right: clean drinking water.
TerraKids
A water-safety and hygiene curriculum delivered in partner schools. Students learn why and how to drink safely — and become the messengers who carry those habits home. TerraKids places a water filter in every classroom where it holds a training. Clean safe drinking water enables kids and teachers to do their best at school.

TerraCare
Provides subsidized filters for low-income households, so families pay only what they can — and no one goes without because of cost. Families who qualify for the program contribute by participating in trainings about health and hygiene.

A real, ordered process — every gift moves through these steps.
We partner locally
We work with direct partners in Laos, like village leaders and school administrators, to identify a need, map water sources, and plan filters for families who need them and schools that can take care of them.
We install & train
Filters are installed in both homes and classrooms, and representatives train families, students and teachers to maintain them — building independence, not dependence.
We measure & return
We track usage and revisit each site so clean water keeps flowing for years to come.

Yes. Our operating model is built so that public donations fund program work directly. We publish annual figures and verify installations with GPS and follow-up visits.
In much of rural Laos water is physically available but unsafe. Filters are affordable, fast to deploy, and work in locations where there is no budget or plan to install or maintain community water systems.
