WHY WATER?
The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest consumers and polluters of water.
Producing a single pair of jeans can require up to 9,000 liters of water. Toxic dyes and untreated wastewater contaminate rivers and groundwater. This pushes surrounding communities into severe water scarcity and a public health crises.
One in four people worldwide—2.2 billion—lack access to safe drinking water. Global textile production hubs, their communities and ecosystems already face severe water stress today. And this situation is only projected to worsen in the future. At the same time, millions of textile workers and their families rely on the same water sources the industry is polluting.
OUR MISSION
We are an international NGO providing clean water for textile workers and their communities to improve their health through promoting human well-being, ecosystem restoration & industry education.
WHAT WE DO
We tackle the man-made water crisis
Through impact-driven networks – connecting experts, suppliers, brands, institutions and local organizations – we foster shared responsibility and accountability for a truly water-just fashion system. We build and share knowledge with educational formats and partner with brands and grassroots organizations to implement local water-related projects.
