Sustainable Theme: Clean Water and Sanitation

Initially I was going to stick on my Digital Design concept with Vestas and create a hyperrealism poster using the theme of clean energy but after some consideration it felt lazy just sticking with one topic. So I shifted to my second subject that was clean water and sanitation.

So after some digging around some companies and their backgrounds one really caught my attention, Planet Water Foundation whose approach towards water accessibility, sanitation, and education that became worldwide spanning multiple countries that benefit from their services.

Starting in the Asia-Pacific region, Planet Water Foundation’s founder, Mark Steele, took the initiative to support local communities with community-based water systems and organizing hygiene education programs that focus on rural communities, schools and kids. For example World Water Day, the Foundation and its corporate partners enacted to bring clean drinking water and educational programs to 24 different communities in 24 hours. The efforts of Planet Water Foundation are supporting nearly 1 million people in 13 countries to ensure access to safe water.

Planet Water Foundation at it’s core is a non-profit organization, but what I liked the most about this organization was their inclusiveness to the community. There are several world-wide organizations that work to provide clean water but the Planet Water Foundation go the extra mile to help educate the community.
This alone was enough to catch my eye because the simple act of supporting a community is great, but engaging in it and building on it, isn’t something you hear from your average charity group, no, Planet Water undertook this responsibility upon themselves to educate the very same communities they work with.
