In 2012, Reuters.com published the first steps of the Plasma Water Sanitation System prototype, installed in the San José de Cerrillos Settlement, in Chile. This technology was conceived to connect advanced science and innovation with social issues. Rosita Reyes, community leader, talks about the immediate impact on her and her neighbors’ quality of life.

Scaling a disruptive technology in the water industry has not been easy. There are innumerable products, however, they have not been designed to reach the most vulnerable contexts.
