Sustainable change helping people improve their life, village by village.
<p>In African villages, clean water often is difficult to find and retrieve. As a company serving water-intensive industries around the world and with a strong focus on sustainability, we feel a kinship with those who are helping improve those conditions. Solenis chose <a href="https://thewaterproject.org/">The Water Project</a> as our main charity to help make a difference, especially for women and children who are often responsible for securing this vital resource every day. For the young people, carrying water frequently means leaving their classrooms and disrupting their education. For women, waiting for a trickle to fill a jug means losing time that can be better used on more important things.</p>
<p>The organization works with members of each community to rebuild and revitalize natural springs, construct rainwater catchment systems, build sanitary latrines and handwashing facilities, provide access to disinfectants, and provide basic education on cleanliness and disease-prevention. To ensure long-term success, representatives of The Water Project frequently return to communities to ensure the systems are still functioning properly.</p>
<p>Solenis has supported nine projects so far. Learn more about each below.</p>
