Water
Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) is an initiative funded by Procter & Gamble whose mission is to improve the lives of women and children living in developing countries by providing them with clean drinking water.
SOW’s relationship with CSDW began in 2008, when we were challenged to created a video that introduces CSDWs commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and the unique ways in which CSDW was distributing water purification packets to communities in Kenya. We partnered again 2010, and this summer marked our third year to shine a light a light on P&G CSDW.
Our most recent work highlights P&G CSDW’s:
- CGI commitment
- Partnerships with other organizations working Malawi
- Impact on women, education, and people living with HIV/AIDS
- Landmark 5 billionth liter of clean water
SOW’s photo stories and videos about P&G CSDW have screened at three CGI conferences, as well as CNN.
Produced by Students of the World UNC Team 2012. Past production teams include UNC 2010 and Michigan 2008.
