Omar Negron Ocasio: Providing Clean and Potable Water to Communities in Need

Omar Negron Ocasio: Providing Clean and Potable Water to Communities in Need
Omar: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Remora was built in the midst of the water crisis suffered by Puerto Rico due to severe droughts and the destruction of the aqueduct system by Hurricane Maria, but water issues are not only a thing of natural disasters. Worldwide water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of the global population, over two billion people worldwide lack access to clean water for their basic needs, and over 80% of the water available for human consumption is polluted. Remora arises with the aim of tackling the global water crisis. On top of this, a lot of communities lacking access to clean water present many other socio-economic problems affecting them, where education, training, and empowerment opportunities are key.

Dominique: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Lightly is dedicated to alleviating stress for parents traveling with toddlers and infants. We believe that no matter where you are or where you go, humans need access to basic sanitary products, our tiny humans included. Parents should no longer have to compromise on the quality of hygienic essentials while away from home.
