We're grateful to be working with great organizations, including Humanscale, CLEAN International, and #EnvironmentalEthicsFoundationofTaiwan #人禾環境倫理發展基金會. Together, we're building climate resilience for schools in Taipei, Taiwan.

Thank you, Apple, for releasing such a powerful piece on our recent partnership to bring safe water to 131 schools in rural #Vietnam. (See link below) Last year, Apple and Gravity Water partnered on a shared initiative to bring a safe and resilient water source to schools in the Hoa Binh Province of rural Vietnam. Through Apple's investment in Gravity Water's solution and the incredible guidance and support they offered, the initiative has transformed water security and climate resilience for over 38,000 students and community members, strengthening education and ensuring access to a reliable water source now and in the future. In addition, this initiative is on track to help these communities conserve an estimated 10 million liters of groundwater every year, helping them diversify how they access and use available water sources. The direct impact this partnership and initiative continue to have on these communities is profound; however, the impact extends far beyond rural Vietnam. Apple's investment in Gravity Water's work came at a critical time for the organization and catalyzed technological advancements, enhanced data collection, developed new educational programing, and strengthened strategic partnership opportunities that are already helping the organization grow. Thank you, Apple, for working with us to strengthen climate resilience and water security for the incredible people of #Vietnam and helping us become a stronger and more successful organization. We look forward to continuing to support your initiatives in building a brighter future for our planet and people. https://lnkd.in/gZ7syjiv #Apple #GravityWater #Vietnam #WaterSecurity #ClimateResilience #Innovation #RainwaterHarvesting #ClimateTech #CSR #ESG #Sustainablity

Check out the highlight below from our Executive Director, Danny Wright, following his recent visit to schools in Vietnam 🇻🇳 #Technology #Innovation #RainwaterHarvesting #ClimateEducation

Happy #WorldWaterDay from Vietnam 🇻🇳💧 Today, I had the great pleasure of joining Gravity Water's new National Director of Vietnam, Hoa Chu Thanh for a visit to the UN Greenhouse Building in Hanoi. Can you guess what we're pointing to in the second picture? During our visit, we had the chance to meet with UNICEF Viet Nam and learn more about their goals in expanding safe water access to schools and communities in need. They're doing outstanding work building brighter futures for children in Vietnam and we're looking forward to supporting their work expanding #safewateraccess for all children throughout the country. More to come! --- #WorldWaterDay #Vietnam #SafeWaterAccess #SDG6 #SDG11 #SDG13

Climate change is already exerting profound effects on communities worldwide. For those residing in rural and low-income areas, securing a safe and reliable water source remains a persistent challenge. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), flooding stands out as the predominant natural disaster in Asia, with projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggesting an escalation in the risk of flooding and extreme precipitation events across the continent. Among the dire consequences of flooding, one of the most pressing is the disruption of access to #safewater. Floodwaters often carry pollutants into traditional water sources, exacerbating the issue. For a significant portion of the global populace—1.8 billion individuals, 40% of whom live in poverty—flooding poses an immediate threat to water security and access. What measures can these communities adopt to enhance their preparedness for such events and safeguard access to this indispensable resource during times of crisis? #RainwaterHarvesting, a straightforward yet vastly underutilized technology, has the potential to immediately address the needs of the 1.8 billion people grappling with this challenge. Gravity Water is currently working with hundreds of vulnerable communities in Asia to build water security and climate resilience and is on track to extend its innovative rainwater harvesting and treatment solutions to over 1,000 schools by the close of 2024. What are the greatest challenges that rainwater harvesting faces in attaining scale globally?

Gravity Water is excited to be launching its first urban pilot in #Taipei in partnership with CLEAN International! 🇹🇼 The pilot focuses on providing 40+ public schools with Gravity Water's rainwater automation system, allowing them to integrate rainwater use for 200+ days per year. The initiative aims to reduce the consumption of an estimated 10M gallons of groundwater per year, helping conserve a vital resource for the island nation. Rainwater harvesting is often seen as a great solution for remote regions that may lack access to piped water sources. However, rainwater is going to play a critical role in building climate resilience for urban communities. Why? Because urban communities are designed to move rainwater away from their paved streets as fast as possible to reduce risks of flooding. Though this is incredibly important for public safety, unfortunately, it prevents the rainwater from going where it needs to: underground to recharge aquifers for dry-season use. Directly utilizing rainwater during rainy seasons can reduce pressure on precious groundwater resources, ensuring communities and the environment have greater resilience to prolonged drought and fluctuations in rainfall events. Through all of our projects, #data remains front and center. The data from this pilot, as well as a 100-school initiative in Ho Chi Minh City, will help Gravity Water and other stakeholders learn how to optimize urban rainwater harvesting as a viable, affordable, and scalable tool in enhancing climate resilience and water security. #rainwaterharvesting #climateresilience #sdg6 #sdg11 #sdg13 #ceowatermandate #wateroffset #waterconservation #sustainabletaiwan #sustainablecities #watersecurity

Last week, Gravity Water completed the installation of five rainwater harvesting and filtration systems at schools in need in the Dien Bien Province of Vietnam. The goal was to increase water quality entering the school and build climate resilience and water security for these remote communities in the region. Local stakeholders, including UNICEF Viet Nam and PCERWASS were also present in the interventions, expanding WASH education and tools to help these remote schools be better prepared to deal with challenges they presently face along with those to come. Gravity Water is excited to learn how our technology and approach can empower both rural and urban communities in Vietnam; these initial steps of engaging at-risk communities are critical to the process. #climateresilience #watersecurity #sustainablevietnam #sustainableasia #rainwaterharvesting #sdg6 #sdg11 #sdg13

🚨 Last week, The White House highlighted Gravity Water's partnership with Apple as a key partnership and investment in the Asia-Pacific, as part of its brief on U.S. Private Sector Contributions to Sustainability, Inclusivity, and Resilience for the APEC region. Building resilience to #climatechange for vulnerable communities is a global responsibility, and Apple is showing up for the work in a huge way in #Vietnam, helping Gravity Water expand reliable and safe water access to at-risk communities. Over the next four months, #GravityWater and #Apple will help build water security for over 130 communities in Central Vietnam through installing Gravity Water's automated rainwater harvesting systems at local schools. This initiative will help provide access to an improved drinking water source for over 30,000 children and community members that is resilient to failure overtime, while empowering them to become more resilient to a changing climate through the reduction of 15+ million gallons of groundwater use in local aquifers every year. Thank you, Apple, for collaborating with us to empower sustainability for these communities. We look forward to highlighting the progress of our shared initiative over the coming months 💧 #partnershipsforthegoals #sdg6 #sdg11 #sdg13 #sdg17 #climateresilience #watersecurity #sustainablevietnam #wateroffset #cleanwateraccess #csr #esg #corporategiving
