Established in 1997

The IBOTA (International Bridge Of Technical Assistance) Foundation was established in 1997, after founder Peter Koelewijn was struck in India by the great need for clean and safe drinking water.

In the slums of Calcutta

Part of the production of the water filters is done in Calcutta (Kolkata), India. This is being done as an employment project in the slums of this metropolis. In this way underprivileged people contribute to a solution for a worldwide problem: clean drinking water!

volunteers

IBOTA mainly works with volunteers, which means that 95% of the funds are used directly for the projects.
