Xylem Employees Build 275 Filters for Families Lacking Access to Clean Water in Partnership with Wine To Water
Xylem employees from the America’s Commercial Team assembled and sponsored 275 water filters in partnership with Wine To Water at their annual sales meeting. Each filter provides one household, or 6-10 people, clean water for 10 years, so this initiative will help 275 families gain access to clean water.
Wine To Water is a nonprofit organization committed to raising funds and carrying out water projects to increase access to clean water in 388 communities globally. The organization specializes in providing clean water in hard-to-reach areas such as refugee camps or those affected by natural disasters.
