Enhancing water access

The Pacific Odyssey

Drinking water access challenge in he pacific

The Pacific Ocean, the largest on the planet, covers a third of Earth’s total surface. The South Pacific Ocean specifically counts about 30 000 islands,
22 countries and more than 40 million inhabitants at the heart of the global climate as well as the development and economical challenges. Scattered, remote and heterogenous area, the south Pacific Ocean has one terrible common challenge shared by all islands: the drinking water access.

The odyssey

The first step of this Pacific Odyssey is a data collection and a tailored program design phase. This will consist of meetings and workshops with the key stakeholders of the targeted areas.

Program and boat

Departing from Papeete in French Polynesia, Kori Odyssey crew will sail accross 15,000 kilometers to meet the water stakeholders of the Pacific Ocean.

The crew

They will leave at three for this odyssey. Manu jacolot, the boat captain, Baptiste Pouder, the logistic manager, and Martin Bourillet, the project manager. Their journeys and their aspirations.

What is Kori Odyssey?

We envision a society in which everybody has access to a constantly healthy, clean and affordable drinking water.

Most of the current water challenges we face have technical solutions, however, it requires a specific integration to local socio-economic contexts to be sustained, particularly for vulnerable communities.

Kori Odyssey is developing and delivering tailored impactful water access programs: each drop counts!
