We’re excited to support Planet Water
Foundation’s mission of providing clean drinking water.
Since 2009, Planet Water Foundation has been providing safe drinking water to impoverished communities through two main initiatives: programs that educate on topics like water-health and hygiene and the installation of AquaTower Systems. An AquaTower is a water filtration system which uses ultrafiltration technology to make non-potable water sources safe to drink. Each system produces 1,000 liters of drinking water per hour – capable of supporting the daily drinking water requirements of up to 1,800 people.

At the end of 2024, we partnered with Planet Water Foundation to build two AquaTower Systems in Guatemala and Northern Vietnam where our factories Zuntex and Pro Sports/Easipower are located. We caught up with Ms. Dinh Thi Hong Tham, the Deputy Principal of Giao Xuan Primary School in Vietnam about the experience.

What difference does one AquaTower make?
The AquaTower provides clean and safe drinking water at our school. The capacity of the system is also very high, providing enough drinking water for nearly 700 students and teachers at our school which is especially important during the summer season.

Can you tell us a little bit about the day this AquaTower was built?
Our students and teachers were happy to join the volunteers and the day was full of excitement. Out of many schools in the area, we feel very lucky to be selected as the beneficiary school and to receive this meaningful gift that will be well taken care of and utilized.

We also had the opportunity to chat with John Deotrakul, Chief Development Officer from Planet Water Foundation about the day and how you can get involved.

Can you tell us a little bit about the day this Aquatower was built?
It was an amazing day. Our team was joined by volunteers from prAna and their factory partner and together we installed the AquaTower. We were able to get everything setup in just a few hours and then conducted our water-health and hygiene education program. It was really rewarding for all involved to see how much the project meant to the school and the students, and to know that they now have a reliable source of safe drinking water on the school premises.
