For two decades, Water Matrix™ has been driven by one goal—to help our customers achieve maximum water savings. As Canadians, we are fortunate to have relatively easy access to fresh water supplies. Unfortunately, there are many places in the world that lack access to clean water. As a Canadian company, not only is Water Matrix™ committed to improving water use across our nation, but around the globe as well. That’s why we regularly contribute a portion of our profits to help another Canadian organization, WaterCan, provide impoverished nations with their own freshwater resources.
WaterCan is a leading Canadian charity dedicated to fighting global poverty by helping the world’s poorest people gain access to clean water, basic sanitation and hygiene education, and encourages Canadians to lend support.
Since 1987, WaterCan’s programs have reached over one million children, women and men in the world’s poorest regions, breaking the cycle of poverty and disease and increasing opportunities for health, education, gender equality, and economic growth.
Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in eastern African, WaterCan supports small scale, community driven projects that:
- are long term, sustainable development initiatives
- use low-cost, locally appropriate technologies
- integrate water supply, sanitation and hygiene education activities
- emphasize community ownership of planning and management
- emphasize self-help and community participation
- benefit and involve women
WaterCan attaches great importance to making the Canadian public aware of worldwide water and sanitation issues. This effort helps to ensure that provision of clean water and sanitation services to the world’s poor remains an important priority for Canadians and other members of the international community.
