In June 2019, Pevonia launched WOW, a global campaign centred on its World of Wellness™ and Wellness of World. One of the pillars of the campaign is: Conservation and Clean Water which led the company to become a proud supporter of charity: water.
Did you know that 1 in 10 people lack access to clean water? Since launching in 2006, charity: water has funded over 38,000 water projects across 27 countries and brought water to over 9.5 million people.
100% of all public charity: water donations go to fund water projects, whilst private donors cover operating costs. Each project is chosen according to water availability, culture and economic conditions. They include: Drilled wells; Hand-dug wells; Spring protections; Rain catchments; Bio-sand filters; Water purification systems and Rehabilitations.
The availability of fresh, clean water makes considerable differences to the lives of those who could not otherwise access it. Community health is improved in developing countries where 80% of diseases are waterborne, and preventable with clean water and improved sanitation.
Instead of children spending their days collecting water or unwell with a water-related illness, they are able to go to school and gain an education. Women too are twice as likely to walk for water than men. Water projects can save them time, and give women freedom and opportunity.
Every £1 invested in clean water can yield £4-£12 in economic returns, depending on the region and type of project. Charity: water’s team works to ensure that all money is accounted for and reports back to their donors.
Through its two-year programme and donation, Pevonia International will fund four rehabilitated wells with handpumps for a community in Eastern Uganda.
