History
Earth Water was founded in Edmonton Alberta Canada, by Kori Chilibeck, which donates all of their net profits from the sale of Earth Water to the United Nations World Food Programme’ WFP. The money raised goes to funding in-school feeding programmes, providing food, water and education to some of the poorest children on earth. The focus is on both emergency provision and developing sustainable food and water sources for people living in poverty.
Earth Water was started by a young Kori Chilibek, fresh out of university. His vision, if people are going to consume bottled water, why not use those monies to help provide clean drinking water for those who don't have access to it.
Earth Water is available in Europe, Canada, South Korea and the United States. A complete list of countries and stores are available on their website.
Earth Water has recently gained considerable attention from the food industry for their effective engagement of supporters in a campaign called "Join US". The message revolves around their company's mantra, "If you had the chance, would you change the world?"
The foundation of the "Join US" movement, revolves around the consumer directly asking retailers to cary the Earth Water brand. The media has reported that both consumers and retailers have found this process to be extremely effective in helping to raise the profile of Earth Water and raise money for the less fortunate.
