A Warm Welcome to our New Worthy Causes! (Q3 and Q4 of 2021)
As we wrap up 2021, we are delighted to welcome FOUR more amazing organizations that are doing truly remarkable things in the world.
And today, we’re so excited to introduce them to you.
From Canada, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Mozambique and Congo (Kinshasa), we now have 11 new projects listed with B1G1. And collectively, they work towards 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals!
Water First Education and Training Inc
Water First reaches the indigenous communities in Canada to provide access to clean water with technology and infrastructure. They believe that having these resources coupled with a strong partnership with the local communities is key to helping them thrive.
This is why at Water First, the communities they serve come first.
Water First lives this out by working with the indigenous communities to manage sustainable water resources and track the effects of industry and climate change.
Through their internship program, they train young Indigenous adults to become certified water treatment plant operators, consult with Indigenous partners about long-term environmental water goals, determine priority areas and local training needs, and more.

They partner with eateries who have quality surplus of food and then redistribute them to the local charities free of charge.
