Unsafe Drinking water kills 6,000 people a day. Hundreds of millions of men, women and children in Africa, Afghanistan, India and other parts of Asia, Central and South America live in communities where water is scarce or contaminated, or both. Furthermore, it is likely their responsibility to find a safe source, whatever the distance or terrain.
How do we create global awareness of the world’s safe drinking water crisis mobilize citizens of the world to solve the problem – today? This is the mission of the Blue Planet Run Foundation.
Where There’s A Well, There’s A Way
In 2002, industrialist and philanthropist Jin Zidell created the Blue Planet Run Foundation to cooperatively provide safe drinking water to 200 million people for the rest of their lives by the year 2027.
Since 2004, the U.S. based foundation has funded 11 non-governmental organizations worldwide which have in turn implemented 135 sustainable water projects in 13 countries including Nicaragua, Bolivia, Sierra Leone, Kenya and India, impacting 100,000 lives.
The Foundation’s signature awareness and fundraising event is the Blue Planet Run®, the first ever around the world relay run.
As presenting sponsor of the 2007 Blue Planet Run®, the Dow Chemical Company is helping to improve the quality of people’s lives by focusing on the most basic human need – safe drinking water.
With science, research & development, new products and the Human Element, The Dow Chemical Company pledges to contribute solutions for some of the most serious problems faced by the most vulnerable members of the larger human family: affordable and adequate food supply; decent housing; improved personal health and safety; and sustainable water supplies.
