LAB FOUNDATION 

COLOUR THE WORLD

Thanks to your LAB purchase, you contribute to a better world: you have a beautiful home and, where necessary, clean (drinking) water. With the LAB FOUNDATION, we want to make clean and safe water accessible to thousands of people. Why do we do that? Because clean (drinking) water is a basic necessity that everyone has the right to. 

Yet, there are billions of people worldwide for whom this is not attainable. A lack of clean water has major consequences for the population. People often have to walk far for clean water. Sometimes so far that they drink water from nearby rivers or lakes. In addition to the fact that this water is unfiltered, it is also heavily polluted by, among other things, waste flows and because people and animals wash in it. This increases the risk of serious (often fatal) waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery. In the worst case, this even results in infant mortality. Not having access to clean water also hinders economic progress. 

A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH 

With the LAB FOUNDATION we want to do something together with you against this problem by making water installations and the associated infrastructure available in developing countries. In addition, we work on awareness and behavioral change, so that the problem is tackled at its core. We do this together with specialized organizations that know the environment well and know what is needed locally. This makes it possible to make a difference in a sustainable way. 

Within the projects, a budget is reserved for the maintenance of water installations and the population also contributes in money or labor. This creates a shared responsibility and prevents people from remaining completely dependent on outside help. Our goal is to make clean water accessible to thousands of people. Your purchase helps with that! In this way, we can contribute together to a better world, now and in the future.
