Our international presence brings us into contact with many important social issues. Where possible, we like collaborating with others to contribute positively. That is why we value the long-term relationship with Vreugdenhil and are proud to make an impact with them and the Made Blue Foundation.

A special collaboration

In 2024, Hoogwegt, Vreugdenhil, World Vision and Made Blue Foundation joined forces to make an impact together in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

For this project they not only donate litres of water, but also milk powder. We hope this will give the free school meals at the six schools in the area of the project much more nutritional value. The milk powder will form a mineral boost for the students, and thus help them to continue to develop well physically and mentally.

One litre for one litre

In our program One litre for one litre you can convert the water saving or water consumption of your product, service or organization into an equal amount of litres of clean drinking water in developing countries. Choosing a selection of customers or donating more litres is also an option. Transparency is paramount and we are happy to help you communicate about it!
