Hannah loves water. She loves to drink it. She loves to swim in it. She loves bath time. As Canadians, we often take for granted that clean water is just turing a tap away. Others around the world are not so lucky.
Approximately one billion people do not have clean drinking water, many of which are children in the developing world. As a result, thousands of children die every day. The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program helps provide clean drinking water to these people through a water purifying technology developed by P&G. One small P&G purification packet quickly turns 10 litres of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water.
Nearly 7 billion litres of clean drinking water have been provided by humanitarian organizations across the globe using P&G packets, helping to save an estimated 39,000 lives in more than 75 countries.
For the month of April, for every P&G product purchased at Walmart in store or Walmart.ca, P&G will donate one day of clean water to CSDW to help a child in need. Walmart shoppers across the Canada can make a special difference in someone’s life just by doing their regular weekly shop for their family.
