Visions are turned into reality
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
World Vision and Grundfos want to supply water to the world. The target is to
provide millions of people with access to water by 2020. Already now, a
significant milestone is reached.
The American NGO World Vision and Grundfos have joined forces to secure water
for people worldwide. The partnership's ambitious target is to reach two million
people by 2020, but the collaboration is already now picking up pace. Today,
water flows to 300,000 new consumers, primarily in Africa, but also in Asia.
"The global water challenges can only be solved through massive efforts from
governments accompanied by NGO's capable of reaching the poorest parts of the
world, in close cooperation with the private sector in order to provide
sustainable, market driven solutions," says Greg Allgood of World Vision.
The partnership builds on World Vision's extensive knowledge of the world's
developing areas as well as their large network in the same places, and our
technology and knowledge. Among other things, solar powered Grundfos-innovations
as the SQFlex are in play. The submersible pumps are particularly suited to work
in remote areas of the world, where access to electricity is scarce, but
sunlight is abundantly available.
"Our water technology can play a decisive part in bringing water to people
worldwide. Therefore, we must commit ourselves, and therefore, we will put in
our efforts to find solutions to the challenges. This, we are going to do, among
other things, by utilizing our expertise in close collaboration with partners
all over the world, spanning the public, private and civil spheres," says Mads
Nipper, CEO at Grundfos.
