A new way to do business on earth
Today over 1 billion people don&t have access to clean and safe water. WHOLE WORLD Water is a Campaign designed to unite the Hospitality and Tourism Industry on a non-competitive platform to eradicate this issue.
But this is much more than a fundraising initiative. It is a revolutionary way of thinking, a new way to do business designed to balance environmental, economic and societal issues.
About the Bottle
The WHOLE WOLD Water bottle was designed by renowned designer Yves Behar. It is unique to the campaign and for members only.
1 billion people don&t have access to clean & safe drinking water.
We can annually raise $1 Billion if only the top 3 hotel groups join us.
You can increase your bottom line by up to 28%
to drinking water and basic sanitation within a decade
by not shipping bottled water over long distances
as the water is served in reusable glass bottles
by replacing plastic and petrochemicals with reusable glass
The Whole World Water fund has been established to provide access to clean and safe water for everyone.
The WHOLE WORLD Water Fund is a Company Limited by Guarantee and a charity registered in the UK. Registration Number: 1154199.
It is managed by the Royal Bank of Canada and governed by a Board of Trustees. Water sector experts will review applications and approve grants based on set criteria. These criteria are outlined on the Project Overview document below.

We encourage our members to identify projects in the communities where they are located and we will earmark and enhance the funds they raise. WHOLE WORLD Water is a global fund that activates locally.
