Building hope . . . Saving lives

SERVING HUMANITARIAN NEEDS!

 

A Message From the Founder

 

 

Welcome to WaterBrick International! WaterBrick is the combination of vision and hard work that has turned an idea into reality. Challenged in 2003 by Jean-Michel Cousteau, the son of the legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, to address the global need for water, we created WaterBrick as a first response life-line to not only address the global need for water and food delivery, but also to address the tremendous need for storage of life-essentials, building “basic shelter” for the less fortunate and for those victims of catastrophic storms, tsunamis, and war-torn regions around the world.

We have created an organization with a product and service like no other in existence today. We asked the question of how we could design a product that would provide an enduring social good to the world, and to do so in a manner that would allow us to achieve scale, sustainability and profitability; to create a vision around which the world could rally. As you will discover throughout our website, WaterBrick's mission and products has been designed and manufactured to accomplish these very goals.

So, what is our vision? Imagine an idea, a unique delivery system that delivers water and food; life-essentials to the developing world, but in doing so, it can be “repurposed” and provide sustainable basic housing for those in need.


In a sense, WaterBrick was quite simplistic. Initially designed as an industrial container for water and food transport, structural components had to be incorporated to fulfill its total purpose which came with some very special attributes.

First, it must be deliverable via air-drop where no other modes of transportation are available to reach disaster sites. WaterBrick's award winning and patented design was developed to withstand the harsh forces that can smash conventional plastic containers when dropped via parachute from an aircraft. When interlocked, palletized and shrink-wrapped, the WaterBrick's patented structural design allows it to withstand these forces while arriving at the drop-site structurally sound. Secondly, the design must allow for the building of transitional shelter using only the WaterBrick and natural materials at its building site. As you will learn from our website, WaterBrick's design is revolutionary, in that it is not only a unique delivery system for life essentials, such as water and food, but it comes with a secondary and critical purpose of building transitional shelter such as homes, schools and other basic structures.

With that, I invite you to browse our site and discover what has become a source of magnetic energy and excitement for us at WaterBrick as we work to leave a positive mark on our world and serve those in need. With your support, together, we can help others in need.
