Safe Water Kiosk, a CSR Program by Siemens AG


"The need for clean potable water is growing at the same rate as the world’s population. Today, those who need safe water the most have only limited access or none at all to this precious commodity. In many parts of the world, clean drinking water can by no means be taken for granted." -CSR Safe Water Kiosk webpage
"The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.2 billion people are vulnerable to illnesses from impure water. Every year, some two million people – mostly children and the elderly – die from diseases caused by contaminated water. Siemens offers an effective solution that is world best practice and, most importantly, affordable and accessible to everyone. By incorporating a simple and robust membrane filter system, the SkyHydrant, into a community kiosk, it is now possible to provide a tangible and sustainable means of water purification that gives communities in remote areas a supply of clean water." -CSR Safe Water Kiosk webpage
