Clean drinking water has the power to transform lives — helping more children stay in school, families stay healthy, and communities grow. For over 20 years, and together with longstanding partners like World Vision, the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program has brought the life-changing impact of clean water to vulnerable communities around the world, including during disasters and humanitarian crises.
What began in 2007 as a small-scale project in rural Malawi has developed into a dynamic, strategic partnership. P&G and World Vision have worked together to deliver access to clean water in 34 countries through the P&G Purifier of Water packets — a low-cost, easy-to-implement technology that cleanses water of life-threatening contaminants.
“Let me say how grateful I am to both P&G, one of the greatest companies in the world in terms of its responsibilities to society…and to World Vision, one of the great treasures of NGOs…The fact that they’re doing this together means a lot to me.”
—President Bill Clinton
As one of the leading partners of the P&G CSDW Program, World Vision uses the P&G Purifier of Water packets as an immediate solution to the critical need for clean water as it scales up long-term water solutions, providing water to people living in conflict zones, disaster areas, and communities where sustainable water interventions are not yet available. Together, World Vision and P&G have reached millions of people, providing a lifeline to those most in need.
