Earth Water provides clean water for refugees

Hannah Oakman7 Aug 2009

Netherlands-​based Watercompany, part of the PHS Waterlogic group, has teamed up with Earth Water to help some of the world’s poorest people.

In cooperation with Earth Water, Watercompany has set up a unique concept by which people can contribute to ongoing water projects run by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

When customers use the special Waterlogic Earth Water water cooler, Earth Water will donate 100% of its worldwide net profit to the UNHCR.

The world wide net profit that Earth Water generates by selling water is donated to the water fund of the UNHCR and is then invested directly into durable water systems in areas where they are needed most.

The Earth Water water cooler is installed directly to the mains water supply. Watercompany donates 10% of the sale or lease value and 5% of the maintenance component to Earth Water.

The UNHCR was founded in 1951 with a set goal to protect and support refugees by means of shelter, return or settlement in another nation.
