YOUR THOUGHTS | YOU CAN HELP |
non-profit organization committed to establishing safe water supplies in developing nations around the world.
For every beverage sold, Clearly Canadian donates funds to Global Water to help poor communities largely ignored by their own government leaders and many international aid programs. These donations help finance the creation of new wells and surface water sources, allowing rural populations access to safe, clean water, often for the first time in their lives; we also provide equipment to purify, store and distribute new and existing water sources for domestic and agricultural uses.
Clearly Canadian has set a target to complete 20 new water projects by 2010, bringing safe water supplies to over 10,000 people who do not currently have access to this essential part of life.
So whenever you drink Clearly Canadian, you can feel good knowing that you're not just quenching your thirst - you're helping quench the thirst of disadvantaged people around the world.
Now that's refreshing.
