In a recent article in The Age Newspaper in Melbourne, the CEO of BHP said companies should think of every dollar they spend in supply chain as a potential "tool" for social good.

Water 4 a Purpose is a charitable trust established to help those who do not have access to safe drinking water. By selling bottled water to corporations in Australia, all profits are used to fund significant water and sanitation projects in the Africa and Asia Pacific regions.

Would you walk to your local river or pond to prove a point for your friends? One in eight people on the planet do not have a choice - they do it to survive. To see what a difference giving makes, please watch the short video below.

Globally, one out of every five people on the planet does not have access to clean water. Two out of every five people do not have access to basic sanitation. As a consequence, water and sanitation-related disease cause the deaths of over five million people each year. Most of these deaths are children under age five - making it the biggest killer of young children. The statistics are profound and the need is great.

Apart from the health related issues, the daily struggle to obtain clean drinking water has a tremendous negative impact on the lives of mostly women and girls in the developing world. Traditionally, water collection falls to them. Consequently, the necessity to undertake this basic but arduous chore prevents them from participating in economic and social activities that are vital to the development of healthy communities and subsistence economies.

Addressing the fundamental need for water and sanitation is central to helping communities and individuals to grow, thrive and in turn address other social needs.
