Help us now, so that we are able to continue working towards a sustainable use of water.

WfW-partners promote social balance in their everyday business. This takes away the exceptional character of donations and links consumption to water projects.
As part of a globalised economy, Switzerland imports goods worth CHF 250 billion from abroad and ranks among the top 10 nations in terms of per capita imports. This creates 80% of our water footprint abroad, often in regions facing water shortages. Through our daily consumption, we are linked to production sites, transport routes and ecosystems around the world.
Daily consumption in Switzerland has ecological and social impacts on regions and people all over the world – resulting in a global responsibility.
Global differences in access to water rarely occur in isolated events, but affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide every day. Yet, the issue does not evoke much media attention. To counter the challenge of global water scarcity, a systematic approach to social balance in everyday life is needed.
More than 800 million people without access to clean water
Over 2 billion people without access to sanitation
Over 200 million school days lost in Sub-Saharan Africa due to water shortages
10,000 children die every day as a result of water-borne diseases
We believe that successful business, ecological and social commitment can work hand in hand. Our goals are based on this vision:
1
Integrate recurring donations into day to day business of our partners
2
Raise awareness for the far-reaching effects of consumption
3
Introduce global responsibility and ecological action into society
