CLEAN WATER BY

JJ BEAN

Partnering with Run for Water to raise funds for clean water projects.


$1 from every water bottle sold by JJ Bean directly funds clean water in the coffee growing regions of Ethiopia.

TOTAL RAISED SO FAR  –  $52,906

 

The next time you have a cup of coffee,  think of the hands that picked the beans, and the women who sorted and dried it and families who rely on this commodity for their livelihood. They DESERVE clean water.

Proceeds from the 2022 Run For Water event have funded the installation of clean water systems that are now are providing clean, safe water for Sizi. Local crews hit such an abundant supply of water that the new well will also be able to serve a nearby community. This, in combination with updated hygiene practices at the recently refurbished  hospital will result in better health outcomes for the people of Sizi, especially women and children.

Buluk & Hawo

We also supported the construction of a spring cap clean water system in partnership with the community of Buluk, rural Bale in 2020. In 2021, we supported the community of Hawo in the same coffee growing region get access to clean water. 


Yirgalem

We completed building three clean water points in the rural coffee-growing region of Yirgalem so that farmers and their families can drink clean water for the first time in their lives. 

Sizi

We supported the installation of clean water systems that are now are providing clean, safe water for Sizi. Local crews hit such an abundant supply of water that the new well will also be able to serve a nearby community. This, in combination with updated hygiene practices at the recently refurbished  hospital will result in better health outcomes for the people of Sizi, especially women and children.

Sizi is a community of three villages, home to 75,000 people. There has been no clean water system in Sizi. Women and girls carried water from a contaminated groundwater source, which in the dry seasons is at risk of drying out.  The Sizi hospital has no running water whatsoever, and poor hygiene practices among the staff and patients.
