Welcome to the CW4K
Canned Water Stand program
In virtually every US city, drinking water has been identified as unsafe. Failing pipes and infrastructure are allowing lead, arsenic and other contaminants into the water supply. Our children are at risk every day. Government sponsored studies conclude that children who drink contaminated water are predisposed to ever increasing problems with their learning, health and behavior. Effects are most dire in older and underserved communities.
Teens in underserved zones are also in need of ways to earn their own money. Being productive helps with self-worth/self-esteem and social responsibility. What if there was an opportunity for children to learn the basics of business, entrepreneurship, sales & marketing (earn money selling CW4K water), the importance of value creation, and why it is critical to “pay it forward?”
CannedWater4kids (CW4K) is passionate about making sure every child in the world have access to clean, safe drinking water. We believe children are our future. To that end, we have prepared a program to help children learn, earn and pay it forward.
