Where Clean Water Flows, Resilience Grows
Access to clean water is crucial for good health, sanitation and hygiene, and disease prevention. At Baxter, a healthy water supply is also critical for the well-being of our patients, the communities where we operate and our business. Unfortunately, this vital natural resource is limited in many areas of the world, disproportionately affecting communities with already constrained health infrastructures.
Our company tackles water-related issues by finding ways to improve water efficiency in our operations, protect watersheds and provide access to clean water in local communities.
One example is the Baxter Foundation's work with UNICEF on projects that help provide access to safe drinking water for some of the world's most in-need children and their families. In the video below, you will meet Fatma: a young girl in Egypt whose village was positively impacted by a UNICEF program supported by the Baxter Foundation – bringing safe running water to her home, climate education at school and more resilient local healthcare to her community.
