STOCKHOLM, August 28, 2018 /3BL Media/ – Access to freshwater is essential for all life, and a human right recognized by the United Nations. However, millions of people around the world suffer from water scarcity, poor water quality, and inadequate sanitation. Companies operating in areas with water stress have an urgent responsibility to track their impacts, to make informed decisions that trigger meaningful action.
In many schools in India, a lack of clean, safe toilets isn’t just a matter of convenience - they can make the difference between a girl receiving the education or being forced to stay at home.

Nestlé India has supported the building of sanitation facilities for female students in schools near its factories since 2009.
430 facilities have been built to date, giving 150,000 girls access to modern toilets and the opportunity to lead healthier lives, as well as pursue their academic dreams.
