BWT run for you and planet blue

WITH MINERALIZED WATER
World Water Day World Water Day
World Water Day is cele­brated annu­ally on March 22nd to high­light the impor­tance of fresh­water and foster a greater under­standing of the global water crisis. This year we were launching an exciting initia­tive on World Water Day. We want to raise aware­ness of the strug­gles many people world­wide face in accessing clean drinking water and raise funds to build water wells for those who need it.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU WALK FOR WATER?

It is easy to take safe drinking water for granted. While we hardly have to go further than the next tap in a kitchen, more than 2 billion people world­wide do not have access to clean drinking water. According to the UN, 500 million of them live in Africa.

Imagine waking up every morning knowing that your first task is to walk six kilo­me­tres and carry 20 kilos of water back home. Girls and women usually bear the burden of providing water for their entire family. This respon­si­bility leaves them exhausted and makes it very diffi­cult for the girls to concen­trate in the class­room.

But this time, WE ran those 6 km for them!

BWT donated 1 Euro for every kilo­metre you run.

The first BWT Run made history and brought smiles to the faces of so many people around the world:

All funds raised did go to the b.water­Mis­sion project!

b.Water mission is the flag­ship project of the AQUA Pearls Foun­da­tion. It is a trans­for­ma­tive project that improves people’s long-term quality of life by building water wells.

Since the first b.water­MIS­SION water well was built in 2019, almost 83,000 people in Tanzania and The Gambia have gained access to clean drinking water within 150 metres of their homes. In total, almost 406 million litres will be distrib­uted by the end of March 2024!
