The GF Water Foundation was established in the Canton of Schaffhausen in 2002. In that year, GF shareholders waived their bicentenary dividend to create the foundation aimed at improving lives through development projects worldwide.
Since then, the GF Water Foundation has been focusing on water supply projects in over 50 countries and invested around CHF 14 million to improve the lives of more than 400’000 people.
The GF Water Foundation’s mission is to provide sustainable water solutions to communities in need, ensuring everyone has access to safe water. We focus on innovation and collaboration, aiming to create lasting impact and improve the quality of life for individuals worldwide. Our dedicated efforts are driven by a commitment to address the global water crisis and foster a healthier, more equitable world.
Our projects are vital in addressing water scarcity and crisis management, significantly impacting lives and fostering community development. From building essential infrastructure to implementing advanced water purification systems, we address various challenges to ensure water security. Each project not only provides immediate relief but also contributes to long-term health, education, and economic stability in the regions we serve.
The Walk for Water is one of our key events, reflecting our commitment and raising awareness and funds to address global water issues. This event unites employees, communities, and supporters in a collective effort to support sustainable water solutions. Through this impactful event, we encourage widespread participation in our ongoing efforts to bring safe water to those who need it most. Learn more about it here.
