Create Good helps the poor who live in coffee growing regions in Latin America. Through water and economic infrastructure projects, Create Good brings clean water and jobs to the developing world. Uniquely focused on creating sustainable products and sustainable communities, Create Good partnered with Ecofiltro to provide safe drinking water to communities already transformed by access to running water. Create Good’s director recently moved to Guatemala where he collaborates in person with the director of Ecofiltro, local business/NGO partners, and villagers in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico. All of this work in the field starts with you.
