RCAP’s nationwide network, with six regional partner nonprofits and nearly 400 technical assistance professionals, has worked closely with small communities and their water treatment plants for over five decades. Within their work, staff continued to see persistent drinking water challenges in the communities’ schools and local facilities, and in 2014 RCAP’s western region, RCAC, pioneered Agua4All as a solution. The program has since grown across RCAP’s other regions and across the nation to:

💧 Work with over 430 schools and facilities in 15 U.S. states

💧 Install more than 1,100 fixtures, bottle filling stations, and point-of-use filters

💧 Distribute nearly 32,000 reusable water bottles to students 

With your support, RCAP will build on this growing effort and expand this program to ensure more students and community members who rely on these vital public spaces have safe and accessible drinking water. 

Through our partnership, and with your support, RCAP’s Agua4All program will reach new project locations and benefit over 50,000 students and community members. This program is made possible solely through private funding and donors like you!

"Because of this partnership with Ferguson, Agua4All is poised to reach great new heights in 2026 and beyond. We are excited to expand this work to new locations with high needs, create better water access for children, and help educate our future generations. On behalf of the many students and communities we will serve together, thank you for your support!"

— Olga Morales-Pate, CEO

Thousands of schools and local facilities across the U.S. have aging infrastructure and face poor water quality that prevents access to clean drinking water for students and community members. Water contaminants that pose serious health risks like lead, arsenic, and nitrates continue to persist in many communities RCAP serves. Other facilities have safe drinking water but simply struggle with a lack of public access points, broken or out-of-date fixtures, or water discoloration. RCAP recognizes that clean, clear, and accessible drinking water is a necessity for all people – whether at home or at school – and that it creates a foundation for healthy communities and schools. Through Agua4All, we are working to make this a reality.
