Why EMC Corporation is fundraising for clean water

"You never know the worth of water till the well runs dry” -Thomas Fuller

Could you deal without safe, clean, water? For 768 million people it’s a daily reality. Without access to safe water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, people are more likely to suffer from water related diseases, these diseases can be fatal killing around 2,000 children a day.

In Africa alone, people spend 40 billion hours every year walking for water. Women and children usually bear the burden of water collection, walking miles to the nearest source, which is unprotected and likely contaminated.

We like to talk the talk…can we walk the walk!

"On behalf of EMC & Mid Market EMEA, I intend to try on Sunday 3rd August, and will do so by climbing the Mönch, this will be my first attempt at climbing over 4000 meters! The Mönch lies within the Bernes Alps and forms part of the Berner Trilogy in Switzerland. The Mönch includes some very exposed ridge climbing both on snow and fine gneissic rock….wish me luck!" -Chris Kaddaras

Please donate to our campaign, 100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects around the world.
