Nicolas, Romain, and Thomas, three first cousins passionate about the Ocean, bound by the same spirit of adventure and driven by the desire to change the world, created the NGO **Sail for Water** in April 2014.
Recognized as being of general interest, Sail for Water is launching a pioneering project: to combine the defense of a fundamental human right with an extraordinary sporting challenge, promoting universal access to drinking water during a round-the-world sailing trip!
Sail for Water's ambition is threefold:
- To bring drinking water to all those who need it thanks to a high-performance and economical filter;
- To allow everyone to get personally involved and participate in the project;
- To raise awareness among as many people as possible, especially the youngest.
The mission: distribute 1,000 filters in 1,000 days to help more than 100,000 people worldwide.

Our adventurers reached Cape Verde for their first filter distribution mission. (November 27, 2015)
On the small island of Maio, an overlooked island in the Cape Verde archipelago, they distributed 50 filters, equipping the island's hospital as well as all health centers.
After traveling the island far and wide, they also equipped all classrooms in all primary and nursery schools.
