1001fontaines Launches 3 Funding Pools
to Boost Access to Safe Drinking Water

Every day, billions of people still lack access to safe drinking water.

That’s why, in October 2025, 1001fontaines is launching the campaign “Safe Drinking Water is Everyone’s Business”, dedicated to philanthropists and partners who wish to make a lasting commitment to universal access to safe drinking water.
 
With their support, three new thematic Funding Pools are being created. Designed as strategic levers to accelerate the rollout of our safe bottled water model, they will mobilize new partners and donors, thereby amplifying our impact.

This Pool will support pilot projects (such as in Nepal), explore new geographies, foster social and technological innovation, and strengthen academic partnerships.

This Pool will help local actors (starting with the NGO Uttaran in Bangladesh) implement safe bottled water solutions, structure a support framework, and promote skills transfer.

The Social Programs Pool

This Pool will fund social initiatives targeting the most vulnerable populations — for instance, the Water in School program, which delivers safe drinking water to primary schools every day. Its ambition is to expand these programs to new communities and territories.

A Shared Ambition

Together, these three Pools pursue the same goal: to reach more beneficiaries, ensure the sustainability of 1001fontaines’ and its local partners’ actions, and amplify the influence of our approach within the water sector.
