The importance of drinking water: how your purchases fund humanitarian projects

: “Water for life”.

Introduction

More than 2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water. Thanks to your purchases, we support initiatives that tackle this fundamental problem.

  1. Construction of wells and boreholes
    • Your purchases help finance the creation of wells in rural areas of Africa and South Asia.
  2. Filtration and sanitation
    • With our partners, we set up filtration systems to purify water, drastically reducing water-borne diseases.
  3. Education and awareness-raising
    • Having a well is great. Knowing how to maintain and manage resources is even better. Training courses are offered to local communities.
  4. Major social impact
    • Access to drinking water enables children, especially girls, to concentrate on school rather than walking for miles to fetch water.

Conclusion

Every purchase from The Poodie has a tangible impact on the ground. Together, we're helping to improve the lives of thousands of people by providing access to a resource as basic as water.
