Clean Water must not be a Privilege
WfW has been active on the African continent since 2013 and our first visit in Zambia. In cooperation with more than 600 Swiss partner companies, WfW has supported around 300,000 people in Mozambique and Zambia to the present day. Our commitment includes developing professional water supply systems, promoting dual vocational training in the water sector, and constructing gender-appropriate sanitary facilities in primary schools.
Sustainable Value Chains – now also in Zambia

WfW has already saved ten million PET bottles in Switzerland through its partnerships. This year, we have also started to advise Zambian companies on how to become more sustainable and generate enthusiasm for climate-friendly water consumption. This contributes to the local financing of our activities and reduces dependency on the flow of money from Switzerland – a big jump for WfW!
The "Watershed Switzerland" is in Danger
Since WfW was founded, water resources in Switzerland have come under increasing pressure: In the last ten years, 150 tonnes of microplastics have found their way into our rivers and lakes. Glaciers have shrunk by a further ten per cent. And around 30,000 chemicals are polluting our waters. Tap water in Switzerland is still among the best in the world, but the "watershed Switzerland" is in danger.
In view of these developments, it is clear to us:
- We are proactively committed to drinking water and water protection.
- We are stepping up our commitment to pet and waste avoidance in gastronomy establishments, companies and beyond.
- With our education programme AQUADEMIA, we encourage schoolchildren throughout Switzerland to use water as a sustainable and fair resource.
Thanks to the impactful and strong WfW teams in Mozambique and Zambia, we will further intensify our long-standing commitment to the human right to water.
