WHA – Helping to make the world a better place

Posted on by Phillipa ClowPosted in Charity, HydrationLeave a Comment on WHA – Helping to make the world a better place

The WHA, as part of our 5 for 5 Sustainability Pledge, support the charity Just a Drop and we are working towards our 6th borehole in Zambia.

It’s been a hard 12 months for all of us, however, unbelievably there are still 785 million people globally who do not have access to safe water.

“Steps to Water” is Just a Drop’s annual campaign which ties in with World Water Day on 22nd March.

WHA Members, their friends and families are getting involved and fund raising by Counting Steps, playing Virtual Bingo and running their own Just a Drop Day by wearing blue on World Water Day on 22nd March.

Members are being encouraged to share their support #stepstowater #Worldwaterday in helping to make the world a better place.

Back to school with healthy hydration

Back to school with healthy hydration – research has shown that 6 out of 10 children are thought to arrive at school dehydrated. Even a 1% drop in hydration can affect physical and academic performance – a poor way to start the day! See Why Water Matters for Children.

Schools need to get the water message across – water is a ‘cool’ drink in every sense. Water from a water dispenser is convenient, tastes good and provides a visual reminder to drink healthily. Choose a supplier that is a Member of the Water-dispenser and Hydration Association (WHA). The WHA is the leading trade body which ensures standards of safety and hygiene that are top of the class.

Businesses encouraged to get more coolers to assist social distancing

The traditional chat around the water dispenser isn’t currently possible at the moment with the need for social distancing.   However, it is important to remind people of the benefits of healthy hydration, especially at this time when maintaining optimum health is so important.

We learn from Members that many companies are having more water dispensers in their premises – so that fewer people are using each machine.  This also encourages employees to drink more as the dispensers are more obviously placed around the premises.

For more information on maintaining your water dispensers, the WHA have issued “Essential Care of Your Water Dispenser”
