Description
Small action makes big difference. Drinking a cup of flavored water equals to making an actual donation of a cup of clean water to the people in need.
We initiated a simple challenge on social media that called for consumers to upload a video of them drinking any kind of flavored water onto social media platforms to increase public awareness of consumed water issues.
When more people were exposed to the challenge, it increased the level of awareness and attracted many more to participate in taking action that contributed their part in donating clean water to those in need.
Actual donations went to help local communities to build water cellars to preserve clean drinking water.
