Let the Art-Exiled collection create a pathway into your heart. Take a piece home and share the beauty and subject matter with friends and family while letting one of these works inspire you to learn more about

the artist's home and situation.

Art–Exiled uses the proceeds from

sales to help fund safe water

programs in the artist's communities. 

In this sense, Art-Exiled turns art

into clean water through the

Ttocirrod Foundation's safe water projects.

Proceeds from the sale of art benefit the following programs:

The Thirst-Aid education project is based on the concept that people are more willing to accept change if they are involved in directing it.

Thirst-Aid will educate communities

on the dangers and cause of

waterborne illness. Once individuals

understand how to improve their

drinking water Thirst-Aid will offer to

supply a point of use water filter to

participants that can prove they

have attended classes and have an understanding of the causes of waterborne illness. The belief is that by providing knowledge, choice and opportunity, people will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own health and to maintain improved hygiene practices.

The Happy Family Water System

program is a collaborative effort

between Myanmar’s Community

Development Association (CDA),

UNICEF, Ttocirrod Foundation and

the Asia Transpacific Foundation. 

Happy Family Water Systems

premieres as the countries first in-country owned and run ceramic filter facility.  Based on the same principals as the VIP program, CDA employs locals to manufacture filters for community distribution through larger public health related NGO’s.

The Vocational Incentive Program

teaches developing cultures how to

produce ceramic water filters by

combining local materials and simple,

appropriate technology. 

Each VIP filter is capable of lasting

many years and producing enough

water to satisfy the daily needs of a

family of 8 or 20 children during a school day.
