Getting Water is easy, right?
Well, not for some. Whilst for many of us, it’s hard to truly imagine what it would be like to not have access to clean water every day; 663 million people in the developing world lack access to water – and some spend up to 6 hours a day collecting it for their families. Can you imagine what that would be like if you had to choose between having a job and having the water you need to survive?
Partnering for a crucial mission

#GiveThemTimeBack
The purchase of a Limited-Edition Stella Artois Chalice helps provide 5 years of clean water to someone in the developing world. This year’s collection features hand-crafted designs inspired by Mexico, India and the Philippines, created by female artists from each of these countries.
This story shows how Stella Artois supports Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, specifically Target 6.1: “By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.”
