Helping others is one
of the greatest things that we can do…
In this case we can help 1 in 3 people around the world to have an access to basic sanitation or toilet.
Manila, Philippines – Last December 15, 2018 I was invited
to witness one of the amazing beneficiary event held at the Eastwood Mall. The Lixil
and UNICEF announced their amazing partnership to tackle and provide clean
water, access to basic sanitation and good hygiene practices for all.
Together with
Mumbai, Bangkok and Jakarta, Manila witnesses and gets the chance to
participate in a benefit sale where all of the sales proceeds of 1000 American
Standard GENIE hand showers will be donated to LIXIL-UNICEF “MAKE A SPLASH” Program.
While the proceeds in India are for donation to the UNICEF India Wash Program,
the sales generated from Manila will go to benefit disadvantaged children in
the Philippines and worldwide, who have no access to clean water and basic
sanitation.
Fittingly named
‘Shower For Good’, consumers who buy a GENIE
Hand Shower will be able to enjoy a great shower experience and at the same
time help children live healthier lives, by enabling their communities to
provide for basic sanitation and clean water.
As the world’s
biggest player in water technology, LIXIL leverages its expertise as it teams
up with UNICEF, who works in over 100 countries worldwide to improve access to
clean water, basic toilets and good hygiene practices. Through Make A Splash,
the two organizations aim to promote local sanitation markets, by creating
demand for sanitation products like toilets, improving the supply of such
products, and supporting opportunities for affordable finance.
How
else can P595.00 get you a stylish, smart hand shower even as the price you pay
for it is earmarked, 100% for donation to a fund that will help free children
from the global sanitation crisis. That’s the special price tag of American Standard GENIE Hand Showers as they will be sold at this specially discounted
price, on this one-day only sale.
In the Philippines, ‘Shower For Good’ uses the holiday
season as a fitting backdrop for the benefit sale. The public and invited
guests at the Eastwood Mall Open Park Area in Libis, Quezon City where the
event takes place can soak up a welcome Christmas gift : the treat of a Chorale
fest as the benefit sale manned by volunteer university students and civic organizations
in the country race to deliver all 1000 American
Standard GENIE Hand Showers to the sale’s finish line, ensuring the
donation of all proceeds to LIXIL-UNICEF ‘Make A Splash’ program.
Placing
comfort, hygiene and aesthetics at its forefront, the award-winning American Standard GENIE Hand Shower
boasts better water pressure performance because of an especially designed
water channel and 120 micro spray holes that ensure a robust water flow, even
under a low pressure. In addition, users can also look forward to a visibly
clean shower experience. Sporting a rarely seen translucent shower face, GENIE Hand Shower is also revolutionary
in its product design that prompts users to clean the slime and mineral
deposits to ensure they are getting clean water for their shower session even
after long-time use.
With your
support, the benefits of a great shower can extend not just to you and your
family, but to a child whose life may be changed for good. The ‘Shower For Good’
event will help give disadvantaged children access to an appropriate toilet. Toilets are
proven to help boost children’s survival rates, make communities healthier and
more productive, and even improve a child’s chances of attending school.
By 2021, the
LIXIL-UNICEF ‘Make A Splash’ program will have contributed to global efforts to
improve basic sanitation for 250 million people around the world. UNICEF and
LIXIL, together with the help of its consumers and customers are improving
sanitation around the world, one toilet at a time.
