Through its Partnership with Monviso and Al Jalila Foundation, Take Water, Give Life has donated More Than AED 90,000 ($US 24,657) to support the lives of children and adults in the UAE.
Since January 1, 2017, the initiative has donated the equivalent of 93,225 litres to support the Al Jalila Foundation.
The donations help to fund Al Jalila Foundation’s lifesaving humanitarian work through the medical education and research by investing in the UAE’s medical treatment capabilities. The humanitarian initiative also involves a sustainability programme as Monviso collects and recycles the empty plastic bottles from various locations, then sell the recycled plastic and donate its net returns to Al Jalila Foundation.
Take Water, Give Life works as a sales programme designed to donate 1 AED to Al Jalila Foundation for every litre of Monviso mineral water sold by programme participants. These include participating retailers, hospitality venues, sports clubs and online orders placed directly on the Monviso website. The initiative is also supported on Monviso’s mobile app, available on iOS and Android – providing a more convenient and accessible way for people to donate and make a positive change towards the medical developments in the UAE. The app also gives customers the option to recycle their water bottles with ease – contributing to saving the environment.
