Access to clean water is still out of reach for millions, but this team’s simple invention could help change that. Their Filtration Sponge is a low-cost, compact tool that filters out dirt and harmful germs, making it easier for communities without infrastructure to access clean water.

To promote the concept and build community momentum, they’re launching a weekly community pop-up where people can get involved in volunteering, like beach cleanups or local weeding efforts, creating a space that connects water, wellbeing, and action.
