transparency
30 Eurocents = 1,000 litres
We make a promise to all of our donors: each and every €0,30 donated makes available at least 1,000 litres of clean water in developing countries.
Out of every 30 cents received, 20 cents is used for funding clean water projects straight away. On average, 2 cents are spent on monitoring the water projects before, during and after implementation and in partnership with Aqua for All
We’re a charitable organisation – not for profit – operating independent from subsidies or government grants: enabling us to work fully independent and with focus on lasting impact.


INCREASING IMPACT
We want to help create access to clean water for all, unfortunately that does not happen by itself. Part of the donation is therefor allocated as follows:
- 3 cents for creating awareness on the need for access to water
- 2 cents for initiating new water projects and innovation
- 3 cents for growing MADE BLUE and connecting new ambassadors
- 2 cents for core costs, such as finance and administration
