Unsafe water is linked to a host of problems. From transmission of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and hepatitis A to malnutrition, water purification solutions are needed across the globe. Prepared to be the answer to the clean water problem, Waterdrop Filter, a company dedicated to providing clean water, offers solutions to families worldwide, aiming to address this critical issue.
The Growing Water Crisis
According to World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization, the global water crisis continues to grow, posing safety risks and challenges to people's access to the quantity and quality needed for basic, daily living activities such as drinking, bathing, and growing food.
World Vision stated, "While the number of people lacking access to clean water has fallen from 1.1 billion in 2000 to 703 million in 2022, challenges remain, and water scarcity is one of the critical issues in the world today." With more than 1,000 children under five reportedly dying every day from diseases related to lack of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, clean water solutions have become paramount.
Waterdrop Filter's Commitment to Clean Water Access
Committed to corporate social responsibility initiatives, Waterdrop Filter's dedication to clean water access has led to a partnership with The Water Project and the Water4Smile – Waterdrop Filter program. Waterdrop Filter not only provides solution-driven products to address the clean water crisis but also demonstrates its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility through its partnerships and programs.
The company's dedication to addressing the global water crisis is reflected in its partnerships with The Water Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to unlock human potential through providing reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa—communities that suffer needlessly from the absence of clean water access and proper sanitation.
Recognizing that the lack of safe water access and proper sanitation not only harms physical health but also limits education and food production, perpetuating the cycle of poverty, Waterdrop Filter has partnered with The Water Project since 2019. Through this partnership, Waterdrop Filter is on a mission to bring reliable access to clean water, also aiming to restore homes, improve health, and save time spent collecting water.
Impact on Local Communities
Sub-Saharan African children often understand the profound benefits that accompany clean water access and what corporate sponsorships, like Waterdrop Filter, can do. A student from Masungutsa Primary School in West Kenya stated, "There is now enough water for all learners. I will sit in a clean environment, as frequent mopping of classrooms and latrines will be done. In addition, I will be in class instead of going to look for water elsewhere."
In addition to its partnership with The Water Project, Waterdrop Filter's "Water4Smile" program promotes water stewardship and advocates for sustainable water usage. This initiative was inspired by a basic human right: access to safe water. The General Manager of the company stated, "Based on a 2018 UNICEF report, 31% of schools lack access to clean drinking water. My heart was aching when I read about those statistics, and I deeply felt the responsibility to take action and make a difference."
The goal is for the Water4Smile program to be used as a platform to promote water stewardship and hopefully trigger wider industry action toward making a positive change, achieving the vision of "Water for All"—equal access to clean and safe water across the globe.
Innovative Products and Environmental Impact
Beyond Waterdrop Filter's partnerships and programs, other company impactful initiatives include their most recent products, the Waterdrop Filter X Series Undersink Reverse Osmosis Systems (X16 and X12). This series offers a significantly more efficient water usage experience with a remarkable 3:1 wastewater ratio, which surpasses industry standards. Waterdrop Filter enables environmentally mindful homeowners to conserve water by choosing an eco-friendly solution for their drinking water needs.
Through its partnerships, initiatives, and unique products, Waterdrop Filter emphasizes the importance of clean water access for global communities. The company remains committed to making a positive impact and contributing to the global effort to provide clean water to all.
