Our Stories
Since 2012, we have been working around the world to help people in need get access to clean water.
2012
PureDrops was established
PureDrops was founded in St. Gallen by seven motivated SIM (Master of Strategy and International Management at the University of St.Gallen) students and was also supported by the SIM team as a part of SIMagination Challenge.

Indonesia
PureDrops' first stop was in Indonesia, where the PureDrops team donated over 100 water filters in 2013 to help the local community.
2014-2018
Guatemala
PureDrops has been running a water purification programme in Guatemala for five consecutive years and has partnered with the local organisation Ecofiltro to donate water filters to residents of the Purulha region and children in rural Guatemala, reaching over 15,000 people.
2019-2020
Uganda
After achieving milestones in Guatemala, PureDrops has expanded its reach to Uganda, with children as the main target of assistance.
PureDrops partnered with local organisation Spouts to donate nearly 400 water filters in two years.

Rwanda
Because of COVID19, PureDrops' water purification programme was interrupted for a year. We will now, however, be resuming our voyage to a new country - Rwanda - to expand our impact there.
