Free drinking water to all!
We at Freewa believe that all humans are born free. Free to walk the Earth, to breathe clean air, and to drink free, clean water – all of these representing basic human rights. Furthermore, we believe humans also hold responsibility to defend these rights for the generations yet to come. This will be our contribution to the Earth. Support Freewa, a Croatian project for drinking water sources preservation. Freewa is a Croatian product – a web platform, a mobile app for mapping free drinking water locations worldwide, and an eco water bottle with a bag. By buying a Freewa bottle, you're turning an idea of clean drinking water free to all into reality. Let's prove together that initiatives from small Croatia can change the world.
One billion thirsty
According to the UN's research, one billion people on Earth doesn't have access to medically safe drinking water. Only 2,5% of water is drinkable. Almost 10% of all the world's diseases would not even exist if water supply, sanitary conditions, and hygiene were improved, and if water resource management was on a higher level. That would, in return, also lower child mortality rates, improve human health and food status in a sustainable way.
Two trucks of plastic end up in oceans every minute
Plastic is a material that the Earth cannot degrade, which represents a large environmental problem. Huge plastic islands that systematically destroy all wildlife are formed in the oceans, which undoubtedly affects human health, too. We can recycle plastics the proper way, but we can also switch to using glass, the most natural material for water preservation that is also 100% recyclable.
Croatia is third in the EU for its abundance of water
According to the UNESCO's report on water resources, created by monitoring conditions in 188 world countries, Croatia holds third place within Europe for its richness of renewable drinking water. So, there's clean and drinkable water for all, but we have to start managing this treasure more smartly.
