Founded in 1984 by two employees, Water for All is Atlas Copco’s main community engagement project, initiated and driven on a local level by Atlas Copco employees. What started as a one-time project to raise money to combat drought-stricken communities in Peru has grown into a global initiative that raises money to fund clean water projects all over the world.
The Water for All program is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month. Since the founding of the program, we have partnered with organizations like charity: water to help more than 1.5 million people gain access to clean drinking water. And, in just the past four years, the Atlas Copco USA Water for All initiative has helped more than 10,000 people gain access to clean water and sanitation and has donated more than $500,000 to 15 projects around the world.
But we aren’t telling you this because we want a pat on the back. We also want to raise awareness about global water scarcity and inspire others to get involved in a water project. As the following short video outlines, clean water changes lives and impacts entire communities.
If you’d like to spread the word and help raise awareness about water scarcity issues, share this video with your social networks. Learn more about Atlas Copco’s Water for All program by visiting the website www.water4all.org.
