How GROSCHE Contributes To Clean Water

Thousands of people around the world lack access to clean drinking water. GROSCHE’s mission is to help change that.

Our company is tied with our Safe Water Project initiative, meaning for every GROSCHE purchase made we fund 50+ days of safe drinking water to communities in need in underdeveloped countries.

By choosing us, you choose coffee, tea and hydration products with purpose. Together, we’ve supplied over 121 million days of safe drinking water to families in need.

Today, we’re making an impact in six different countries:

• South Sudan
• Uganda
• Malawi
• India
• Pakistan
• The Philippines

How It Works

We supply safe drinking water to communities in need through the use of Biosand filters. These filters are an adaptation of slow sand filters and use multiple layers to strain water. Biosand filters are a great water source because they’re a simple type of water clean technology and create easy access to clean water.

Countries who lack the infrastructure to support a water system truly benefit from Biosand filters because they’re easy to build and maintain.
