Growing up in Brazil, Rielis Mesquita experienced the societal impacts of poor water quality and restricted access to clean drinking water. Early in Mesquita's life, he lost two of his younger brothers to a waterborne illness from the local water supply. The loss of his brothers dramatically reshaped the course of Mesquita's life. Over the last 30 years, this journey has led Mesquita to help improve the wellness of all lives around him. Mesquita first immigrated to the United States in pursuance of his mission and the American Dream. While working as an executive chef, he learned that the cookware he used contained unhealthy and dangerous chemical levels. Inspired to find healthier alternatives, Mesquita researched the external pollutants and chemicals often found in household products, food, drinking water supplies, and the air. Armed with this knowledge, Mesquita became an advocate for restaurants and chefs to use non-toxic stainless steel cookware and utensils.
Then in 1991, Mesquita founded Aqualite US, a company focused on delivering clean water solutions to homeowners and businesses impacted by water quality problems. Initially servicing the Greater Boston Area, Aqualite US has grown to cover over seven states across the North-Eastern corridor. Providing products that would give access to clean water was just the beginning. In 2019, Aqualite US entered the air purification industry by offering state-of-the-art air filtration systems to improve indoor air quality and promote healthy spaces. To streamline operations and provide unsurpassed service, Aqualite separated its air division, and Sanalife was born. After more than 30 years of providing wellness solutions throughout the North and Southeast, Rielis started The RMF Foundation to give back to the community he has served for three decades. The Foundation aims to provide grants to public charities to carry out charitable purposes, donations, and scholarships to help immigrant and underserved populations in Gateway Cities in Massachusetts and throughout New England.
The Foundation's goal is to provide grants to public charities to carry out charitable purposes, donations, and scholarships to help immigrant and underserved populations in Gateway Cities in Massachusetts and throughout New England.
Our mission is to carry out the philanthropic vision of the Mesquita family and enhance the quality of life for immigrant and underserved communities. Critical resources such as clean water and air are scarce and often nonexistent for many of these families. The RMF Foundation is committed to using every dollar we raise to help restore these communities and ensure the prosperity of future generations.
Sanalife is national leader in indoor air quality and sanitization solutions. Working with businesses and institutions, Sanalife provides scalable portable, HVAC air purification, and disinfection controls.
Aqualite US has proudly provided quality and dependable water testing and treatment solutions to homes and businesses throughout the North Eastern Corridor since 1991.
