Water For Water launched this week in the USA and we have already got some pictures coming through of the displays in some of the coffee houses! Thank you to the coffee houses for stocking and displaying Water For Water in their stores.

We are Coming To America!

After much researching, planning and early morning conference calls we are excited to announce Water For Water is now available in the US of A!! Yes we are Coming to America!

Just like in Australia Water For Water is 100% Natural Spring water but for the USA market we have sourced locally from Palomar Mountain in Southern California. Not only is our water local, but our labour, labels and caps are all from the USA.

Our new 16.9 fl oz bottles are light weight and made from Regenerate™100% RPET.

RPET bottles are made entirely from recycled beverage containers and have a 65% smaller carbon footprint than traditional PET plastic bottles. This is a huge step forward in the global effort to protect the environment and Water For Water is excited to be using RPET in this region

If you are from the USA and interested in stocking Water For Water in your cafe, restaurant, business, charity organisation, church, festival, school, community or sporting group please email us, we would love to hear from you.

“This year’s World Humanitarian Day presents an historic opportunity to bring together one billion people from around the world to advance a powerful and proactive idea: People Helping People. That is the best way to honour the many fallen aid workers we mourn today, and to celebrate the efforts of others who carry on their noble mission by rushing assistance to those who are suffering.” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

This Sunday is World Humanitarian Day.

World Humanitarian Day is a time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help others. 

Every day humanitarian aid workers help millions of people around the world, regardless of who they are and where they are. World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people.

This year’s campaign "I Was Here" is about making your mark by doing something good, somewhere, for someone else.

There are so many simple ways you can make a difference in your community.

Here are some ways that the team at World Humanitarian Day suggests you can do to help.

We want to take this day to say THANK YOU to everyone that has helped and showed support to Water For Water. You are appreciated and we couldn't do this without you.

We love sharing stories from The Philippines.

This is Lourdes Menoza, who lives in Caloocan City, Philippines. She says her family needs clean water to drink to avoid diarrhoea & other diseases. Lourdes says her children, grandchildren & friends in the community are no longer experiencing frequent nausea, diarrhoea & vomiting brought about by drinking unclean water because of the Water For Water community water station!

It's so amazing the difference something as simple as clean water can do to impact and change lives.

DRINK WATER GIVE WATER

We wanted to start sharing with you some stories of people from The Philippines. Real people and real lives that are being impacted by the Water For Water community water station.

This is Joseph, who is a former street-dweller, and now works at the water station as a delivery boy.
Joseph is 41 and is a single parent and didn't have access to clean drinking water when he was living in the streets.
Now, more than being able to earn a living by being employed by the station, Joseph is able to share to the community that clean drinking water brings about health, wellness and life! Joseph likes working at the water station because he strongly feels like a "health ambassador" as he delivers clean drinking water to the community.
We love Joseph and so glad that he is working at the station!

Thank you for your continued support as we continue to help this community and see peoples lives changed.

DRINK WATER GIVE WATER

 

A few months back, our partners advised us that a fire that broke out in a large mall, which is attached to the property where Water For Water's Caloocan City Water Station is located.

The fire caused damage to the property and inside the Water Station itself, but thankfully nobody was injured.
While we waited for a determination to be made on how safe and usable the building was we had to close the water station. In the meantime our staff kept working, by getting clean water from other water station's in close by areas.

The Water Station is now back up and running and all equipment has been replaced and repaired. Thank you to the team who worked so hard during the few weeks the station was closed, making sure that the Caloocan City community still had access to clean water.

We thought we would share the photos with you...
