The Children's Safe Drinking Water program is focused on reducing sickness and death resulting from drinking contaminated water.

In 2004, P&G partnered with a diverse network of organizations to create the Children's Safe Drinking Water program, providing awareness of this significant global issue and enabling others to help solve this problem. The Children's Safe Drinking Water Program is the focal philanthropic program of P&G's overall cause program, P&G's Live, Learn, and Thrive TM initiative.

P&G is committed to improving the lives of people around the globe, saving children's lives and providing clean drinking water to as many people as possible. As the creator and producer of the PUR packets, P&G provides both its technical expertise and financial support for this work, in addition to human resources, manufacturing facilities, research and advocacy for this global issue. To date, P&G has invested more than $25 million toward clean drinking water.

Working with organizations such as PSI, CARE, World Vision, Aquaya Institute, USAID, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the International Council of Nurses, Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs, Save the Children, Samaritan's Purse and Americares, P&G helps distribute PUR packets to people in developing countries and emergency relief situations across the globe.

To date, the Children's Safe Drinking Water program has delivered over 1.6 billion liters of clean drinking water. And we are committed to delivering four billion liters by 2012, more than doubling the efforts of our first four years.

Get involved with the work we are doing with charitable organizations and educational programs that support this effort to bring clean water to people in need around the globe.

Together we can make a difference.
