About CannedWater4kids
CannedWater4Kids (cW4k) is a 501(c)(3) charity based in Sussex, WI. The organization’s purpose is to ensure all children have access to sustainable, clean, safe drinking water. cW4k funds its initiatives with cash donations, grants, and through the North American sales of their premium drinking water in aluminum cans and bottles. Ninety-five cents of every dollar collected goes to support, fund, and deliver clean water programs.
Projects include assisting the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee’s Engineers Without Borders in bringing sustainable water purification solutions to the highlands of Guatemala, and support for well/water tank and Bio Sand Filter projects in Zambia, Kenya, and Tanzania, Africa. Recent disaster and hurricane -relief efforts include the sending of truckloads of canned drinking water to Michigan, Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

About EWB at Marquette University
Marquette University’s Engineers Without Borders is building a better world through engineering projects to help communities in Guatemala meet their basic human needs. Throughout the academic year, student members become leaders in designing sustainable infrastructure projects that are later implemented alongside the community to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
We are rooted in Ignatian values, from Saint Ignatius of Loyola, to incorporate our academic curriculum and ethical principles into real-world applications to serve others.
