Since 2011, Alfredo Zolezzi and his team have concentrated their efforts on proving that it is possible to connect technological innovation with social problems. The first pilots were implemented in Chile, in vulnerable communities that did not have access to water, generating an immediate change in the quality of life of these people:
“As a government we will continue to support all the initiatives that put innovation at the service of people, in a concrete way and encouraging public-private partnerships that are virtuous, because this has to be the norm, and not an exception to our development. future”. Michelle Bachelet, Chilean President, 2014
“For our school, this technology is very important because it gives us clean water for children and it will allow us to finally certify ourselves as a boarding school. It’s something we’ve been waiting for a long time”. María del Pilar Maturana, Headmistress Heriberto Erlwein School, 2015
“Everything is 
cleaner, our children no longer get sick and it is much easier for us than before, because we had to ask for water or boil it to drink or wash”. Rosa Reyes, Leader San José de Cerrillos Settlement, 2011
Since 2011, Alfredo Zolezzi, his family and a multidisciplinary team of professionals embarked on the challenge to demonstrate that it is possible to connect advanced science and technology with poverty.
Fundación Chile chose Alfredo Zolezzi as part of the first generation of 'Chileans without Borders'. This nomination distinguishes people who have innovated from their own disciplines, motivated by the construction of a better country
