Charity Projects

All united in a common cause

From the outset, our ‘Charity’ project inspired major support, enthusiasm and a collective desire to get involved. Successive waves of male and female volunteers from all our subsidiaries flocked to support the espoused causes.

This collective energy was channelled into a number of fundraising events (raffles, sales, actions for World Toilet Day, etc.). Other initiatives are constantly being put forward.

In a broader sense, this spirit of solidarity has helped strengthen relationships and team spirit. Proud to belong to a group with a humanitarian focus, we are now united in a common cause going forward.

Promoting health throughout the world – a commitment from Wirquin employees

A quarter of the global population still do not have toilets, which means serious consequences (contaminated water, disease transmission, etc.) for these people’s health.

As hygiene experts, we could not stand by and do nothing about this health crisis. So we set up the ‘Charity’ project in 2015 to raise maximum awareness of this vital issue and take concrete action.

Committed to children

Alongside the World Toilet Organization, an NGO involved in this area, we support three causes close to our hearts – water, children, and universal access to toilets, throughout the world.

On key dates, all our subsidiaries raise money for these causes. This surge of activity has enabled several charity projects to be carried out in various regions of the world:

In Cambodia an ecological sanitary system was installed in floating villages using funds raised (€12,500). Water is now purified by 25 compact water purification units known as ‘Handy Pods’ that use plant-based filters.
