CLEAN WATER CHANGES EVERYTHING
WHY CHARITY:WATER?
The simplicity of acquiring clean water in the United States can easily be taken for granted. For millions of people around the world, access to clean water is nowhere near as simple as just turning on a faucet. In many nations, entire communities lack access to basic water services. Women and children may walk miles every day to gather water, a struggle that keeps children away from an education and prevents parents from earning an income to provide for their families.
This issue struck a chord with us, so we decided to lend a hand to those tackling these problems by donating a portion of sales to clean water projects around the world. Whether it be a piped system, a well, or a system for collecting rainwater, charity:water creates opportunities for people in these regions to support their families and attain a higher quality of life.
HOW IT WORKS
One dollar of every case of custom printed disposable cups and bowls and five dollars of every case of seasonal designs you buy, Your Brand Cafe® donates directly to charity:water to support clean water projects around the world.
HOW YOU HELPED YOUR BRAND CAFE® SUPPORT CLEAN WATER PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD

2024 Update: You Are Making an Impact
We are excited to announce that charity: water has exceeded their goals by a landslide in 2023! After funding water projects for 250 communities in December 2023 alone, charity: water served over 17 million people clean, safe drinking water!
Because of our customers like you, we are able to send donations to charity: water to support their efforts. Thank you for helping us support charity: water in making an impact everyday!
Our Latest Project!
Our clean water project in Nepal is underway! With the help of Helvetas Nepal, charity:water is building piped system tap stands to draw water from inaccessible regions within this mountainous country. These interconnected pipelines use gravity, electricity, solar power, or a combination of all three to bring water to the distribution points. Not only are community members involved in planning, construction, and rehabilitation of this clean water project, they’re also educated on topics like safe water storage and improved hygiene practices.
When completed, this water source will give almost 400 people access to clean water. Thank you so much for your continued support!
Malawi – Well with a Handpump
Completed
The Malawi project has been completed!
Two separate communities in Malawi – which are home to over 600 people – now have access to their own clean water wells. In total, our contributions were included in the $1.3 million donated to Water For People Malawi, which completed over 200 water projects that service nearly 60,000 people.
We’re so thankful for your business and for your help in these life-changing efforts. More exciting updates are on the way in 2023!
New! We are working on three new water projects.
We’re excited to announce that our next donation will be split amongst three different water projects in Africa and Asia!
One project is a piped tap stand in Nepal, one of the most mountainous regions in the world. Another project features the building of hand pump water wells in Mozambique. And for our third project donation, we’re contributing to another piped tap stand, this one being located on the island of Madagascar.
None of these life-changing projects are possible without your business with Your Brand Cafe®. Thank you again for doing your part in pursuit of an important cause!
