Companies and foundations can partner with Planet Water Foundation by funding safe drinking water and hygiene programs for underserved schools and communities, or supporting emergency water relief following disasters. Opportunities include supporting school-based projects, community-based projects, and our disaster response work. We work with partners to structure each partnership to align with their priorities, geographic interests, and employee engagement goals.

Sponsoring a Planet Water Foundation AquaTower project provides a school and its surrounding community with water filtration and handwashing infrastructure, alongside water-health and hygiene education. The program includes training for local system operators and post-installation sustainability support.

Planet Water Foundation’s school and community programs focus on Asia-Pacific and Latin America, while our disaster response work reaches affected communities worldwide. Our school and community-based project countries include Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, and Vietnam, as well as Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru.

Project selection considers the need for safe drinking water, the suitability of the available water source, the people a project could serve, and the ability to operate and maintain the system. Local government approvals are also important.

Yes. Corporate employee volunteering is available as part of all company funded Planet Water Foundation AquaTower projects.

No. Our corporate volunteering opportunities are designed as part of funded project partnerships. Sponsorship enables us to deliver the water system, hygiene education, and ongoing support that make the employee engagement possible.

Planet Water Foundation’s AquaTower program combines local operator training with four years of post-installation sustainability support. This includes monitoring visits, water quality testing, technical assistance, spare parts, and retraining as needed. Local caretakers manage day-to-day operation and maintenance, supported by instructions in the local language. This approach helps schools maintain their systems and sustain access to safe drinking water beyond installation day.

Companies can support emergency safe drinking water access through Planet Water Foundation’s Disaster Response Alliance. The program helps fund preparedness and rapid deployments following disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and typhoons. Advance funding strengthens our ability to respond when emergencies occur. Our team determines appropriate water filtration solutions and deployment locations according to assessed needs and conditions on the ground.

Planet Water Foundation provides partners with photography and information about every single project their funding supports, the communities reached, and the activities delivered. The scope and timing of partner reporting are agreed as part of each partnership.

Partnership communications include project photographs, community stories, and impact summaries to help companies explain their support to employees and other stakeholders. Recognition is provided in the form of logo placement on AquaTower projects and on systems deployed through our disaster response work.
