 Caracas Canteen promotes greater water consumption and improved hydration by using our SMART water bottles and accompanying app. Founded by women of color, researchers, and social justice activists, this innovation seeks to progress water justice and health equity by increasing our collective understanding of water as a vital nutrient for our bodies, by creating a culture around clean, safe, and accessible water as a human right, and by advocating for water justice-forward policies and practices. We envision racial and economic equity in health and clean water access across the world.
