Project Narrative

Solving Water for disaster-impacted communities A wave of recent severe weather events and natural disasters has devastated communities across the globe, causing major loss of life, and leaving hundreds of thousands of people without basic needs like shelter and clean water. These tragedies are on the rise due to climate change, their impact intensified by pressures like population growth and coastal development. For us, this work is about creating social value and an integral part of our shared commitment to solve water.
