Icebox Water announces its support of and partnership withCharity:Water (www.charitywater.org), bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in 24 developing nations worldwide.

Charity:Water provides clean and safe drinking water to people in need through 16,000 water projects in 24 countries across the globe,.  Each project has a plan in place so that local stakeholders can ensure that water flows long after installation.  The organization invests in forming strong water committees, partnering with local government, and training mechanics to perform repairs.  The non-profit organization sends 100% of public donations to the field to fund water and sanitation projects, and has consistently received the highest grades available in accountability and transparency over the last decade.

Icebox Water’s support for Charity:Water is made possible through its partnership with 1% For The Planet (1%FTP), an organization comprised of more than 1,200 key influencing companies all over the world, including Kleen Kanteen and Patagonia, which donate 1% of all sales directly to more than 3,000 non-profit organizations.  As a dedicated member, Icebox Water supports 1%FTP’s goal of educating, enabling and activating the public to amplify consumer’s awareness of their responsibility to protect our planet. In this way, Icebox Water involves its consumers in global improvement efforts without altering their lifestyles.
