Coca-Cola Foundation Brings Safe Drinking Water to Remote Communities Worldwide
The Coca-Cola Foundation has been working to bring safe drinking water to remote communities across the globe. The organization supports local organizations in areas such as rural Uzbekistan, India, and the Navajo Nation in the United States.
In these regions, the foundation focuses on strengthening local Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) systems and investing in long-term infrastructure that can outlast any single grant. This approach has been effective in delivering safe water directly to families, supporting The Coca-Cola Company's goal of returning more than 100% of the water used in finished products globally to nature and communities.
In rural India, a grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation enabled charity:water to bring safe water closer to home. Through investments in infrastructure and community training, thousands of people benefit from reduced time and effort spent collecting water, particularly benefiting women and children.
