The safe water project

We’re on a mission to help.

Our mission is to help those affected by the safe water crisis. We fund that work with the sale of our coffee and tea wares. We provide people with sustainable water purification means for their daily water needs. We also provide them with education on safe water use and sanitation. By doing this work in six countries we are having a global impact. All supported by you, our customers.

As you fill your cup with coffee or tea from a GROSCHE Product, you’re filling someone’s cup with safe water. Also, you’re enabling them to live healthy and productive lives. We know we can’t solve all the issues by ourselves, but with your help we’re doing what we can. Thank you for helping us do more.

Safe Water Community Health Agent training in South Sudan
56 Photos
The team from Grosche and Enviro Stewards went to Sudan to conduct training for Community Health Agents. These CHA's not only promote safe and clean water use, educate others about health impacts of water contamination, but also encourage them to purchase their own BioSand Water filter. THis enables more people to have access to safe water, and also creates a Social Enterprise where the local people can get income from providing safe water for others. Social enterprise enables these people to create wage paying business, while doing social good. All of the funds collected are used to manage the local operation as a non profit, wage paying, social enterprise.Learn more about the Grosche Safe water project at www.grosche.ca
