Celebrating Eight Years of Clean Water Access in Kenya with Waterdrop Filter and The Water Project

Celebrating Eight Years of Clean Water Access in Kenya

On the United Nations’ International Day of Charity, Waterdrop Filter proudly collaborates with The Water Project to commemorate their remarkable eight-year partnership dedicated to enhancing access to clean water in Western Kenya. This collaboration, which began in 2017, has successfully provided thousands of families and children with the essential resource of clean drinking water, demonstrating the profound positive impact such initiatives can have on communities.

The Genesis of a Transformative Partnership

The partnership was initiated in 2016 after Waterdrop Filter became aware of the severe scarcity of clean water in sub-Saharan Africa. Recognizing that access to clean water is a basic human right, the company launched the Water4Smile initiative in 2017, pledging that for every water filter sold, one child would receive clean water for a day. By choosing The Water Project as a trusted partner, Waterdrop Filter has developed a collaboration that embodies its commitment to global solidarity.

Milestones Achieved Together

Over the years, The Water Project has constructed more than 2,600 water facilities, boasting a remarkable 96% operational rate, thereby providing over 900,000 people in Western Kenya with access to safe and reliable water. Angel, a 13-year-old student from Kakoyi Primary School, shared how their new water source is significantly easing their lives. "Our new water source helps our parents save money because we no longer battle waterborne diseases. Teachers can also spend more time with students since we aren’t leaving school to fetch water anymore," she said.

This transformative impact is echoed by Philip, the president of Waterdrop Filter, who stated, "On this International Day of Charity, we are reminded that access to clean water is not only a fundamental human need, but also a foundation for dignity, education, and equality. Our eight-year collaboration with The Water Project exemplifies how consistent charitable commitment can change communities and bring about sustainable change."

The Vision for the Future

Waterdrop Filter remains steadfast in its mission, aspiring for a future where every individual in the region has access to clean and safe water. The notable transformation of communities through this partnership serves as an inspiration, showing that sustainable commitments can yield tangible benefits.
