AMBASSADORS
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What is the Ambassador Program?
The WATA Ambassador Program empowers individuals like you to make a real difference in communities around the world. Whether you’re a traveler, adventurer, or changemaker, you can help provide access to clean water by setting up portable water filters in areas that need it most. Ambassadors bring WATA’s mission to life by connecting with communities, installing water filters, and sharing the story of their journey. Together, we are building a network of water warriors who are helping to create a world where everyone has access to safe, clean drinking water.
