“CW4K emerged in 2008. Twelve years later, as I view the world, I think of my children and grandchildren, who are all happy and healthy. It saddens me to think that many children across the globe still do not have life’s basics – like clean, safe water – to live. We are proud to be working together with water4.org to help make a difference.” — Greg Stromberg, Founder & CEO, CannedWater4kids.

“Water4 is committed to ending the global water crisis through sustainable solutions, and we are proud to partner with forward thinking organizations like CannedWater4Kids. We work for a world where every home, school, and clinic has access to safe water, always. If we can envision mankind on Mars, we can end the water crisis.” –Matt Hangen, President & CEO, Water4

Despite millions invested by governments and NGOs to deliver basic water services across rural Africa, up to 40% of rural handpumps are no longer functional just a few years after commissioning.
The partnership between CW4K and Water4 utilizes the Water4 business approach to delivering water services putting operations and maintenance into the hands of trained, skilled, operators who create jobs and boost the local economy. Water4’s local enterprise partner – Access Water4 Zambia – has transformed itself from a manually drilling company into a professional private enterprise providing piped water, fabrication and installation of pumps, water for irrigation, and maintenance expertise.

CannedWater4Kids solves global water challenges through their innovative canned water business built to support groundwater project work that directly improves the lives of the most vulnerable children. CannedWater4Kids staff is personally and professionally committed to developing practical solutions and to using innovation to drive change.
