With sustainable FILL ME drinking bottles as a customer gift and the associated fundraising campaign for Christmas 2023, KWC demonstrated its commitment to the mindful and responsible use of water as a valuable resource.
KWC integrates water-saving technologies into its product development, and in August it donated CHF 3 to Viva con Agua for every water-saving fitting sold.
As part of KWC’s 150th anniversary, a funfair was held at KWC in September 2024. A Viva con Agua stand with a Goldeimer toilet roll toss, a “Water is a human right” photo shoot and an exciting water quiz encouraged attendees to get involved – with an option to donate.
It was all about Christmas for Mozambique in 2023, and that’s the motto in 2024 as well. Access to clean drinking water, sanitary facilities and awareness-raising in the field of hygiene by trained and further educated authorities, companies, trade associations and water committees are part of the project work.
KWC wants to raise awareness among its employees and customers about the importance of clean drinking water in Switzerland and around the world. Saving water locally to enable drinking water globally. We would like to provide this support through our joint partnership. For example: With KWC’s energy efficiency class A water-saving fittings, water consumption in bathrooms and kitchens can be reduced by up to 30 per cent without compromising on quality. Thanks to innovative technologies such as EcoProtect and CoolFix, water consumption is less than 6 l/min. in the bathroom and less than 9 l/min. in the kitchen. In combination with targeted fundraising campaigns such as donations of CHF 3 for each fitting sold, water is saved locally and water projects are supported globally. Further information about the donations is found on this page.
In addition to our “Save Water” campaign page, we also created a video interview with our co-managing director Gregor, excerpts of which were published by KWC in on our Instagram and LinkedIn channels.
The message is: Let’s save water together locally and enable drinking water globally. Our partnership began in mid-2023. A year later, and with donations totalling CHF 16,500, we’ve already achieved a great deal in Mozambique.
Donations from the partnership are currently going to Mozambique. Thanks to the overall project, 50,000 people in six districts within the Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces in northern Mozambique benefit from access to safe drinking water, sanitary facilities and greater hygiene awareness through educated and trained authorities, businesses, handicraft associations and water committees.
The overall project in Mozambique helps to build new water supply systems on the one hand, while having a strong focus on improving hygiene and the education and training of authorities, operators, handicraft companies and water committees, on the other hand, so that water supply systems can also be maintained and repaired independently.
KWC has already donated CHF 16,500 to the project work in Mozambique to date.
CHF 15,000 is enough to rehabilitate a complete small-scale water system for a village community of around 3,000 people.
CHF 1,000 can pay for the training of a well mechanic.
And CHF 500 can cover awareness-raising work to improve hygiene practices and the use of water points in two villages with approximately 240 families each.

We support water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects with local and international partner organisations and have already reached 3.8 million people.
All Viva con Agua WASH projects follow the interplay of access to clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene sensitisation. This triad supports the long-term and sustainable success of the individual project measures.
