Social Responsibility
WATER STANDARD’s focus on bringing fresh, clean water to areas facing critical shortages is part of our larger commitment to improving the lives of people in need worldwide. We strongly believe that global companies have global responsibilities that transcend business and we are committed to supporting initiatives that impact global communities. WATER STANDARD is proud to support organizations that make a difference such as:
The Dikembe Mutombo Foundation
The Dikembe Mutombo Foundation is dedicated to improving the health, education and quality of life for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Foundation strives to accomplish this goal through an emphasis on primary health care and disease prevention, the promotion of health policy, health research and increased access to health care education for the people of the Congo. His goal was to solve the problems that he believes are “killing my country.” WATER STANDARD is honored to help Dikembe Mutombo pursue his dreams of a better Africa…and a better world.
Charity: Water
Charity: Water is a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. The organization uses 100% of public donations to directly fund sustainable water solutions in areas of greatest need. Charity: water builds freshwater wells, in some communities build latrines; at the very least it promotes simple hand-washing stations made with readily-available materials. Clean water can greatly alleviate the world’s disease burden, but only with education and hygienic practice. Charity: water is committed to providing life’s most basic need – water.
Living Water International
Living Water International is dedicated to providing clean drinking water to those in need. By implementing participatory, community-based water solutions in developing countries, Living Water has completed more than 9,000 water projects (and counting!) for communities in 26 countries. WATER STANDARD is proud to join Living Water International, an official charity of the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon 2011. Team Living Water was one of the most successful charity teams at the 2010 event, raising more than $60,000 for clean water.
Development of Desalination Technology for Social Responsibility
In cooperation with Rotary International, the International Desalination Association’s three day 2011 international conference, “Development of Desalination Technology for Social Responsibility”, focused on developing desalination and reuse technologies for social responsibility and the provision of water resources for health, economic development and a sustainable environment. WATER STANDARD is a proud participant and supporter of this event, the proceeds of which will be donated to support a humanitarian project aiming at addressing severe water issues in the District of Ankililoaka, Madagascar, where a population of over 100,000 (50% children) is badly affected by water scarcity.
