On the occasion of World Water Day, Nestlé Pakistan has announced that it will be bringing Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) to Pakistan in the second quarter of this year. Under the project, the company will train teachers on exercises to preserve water.

Project WET is a US-based non-government organisation with which Nestle has partnered globally in 34 countries.

Nestlé Pakistan will be incorporating the training in the Nestlé Healthy Kids (NHK) Programme, which is a global initiative through which children are introduced to a healthy lifestyle.

The company and Project WET will publish educational material on water resource for different age groups that comprehensively cover the broad topic of water. The joint programme, which will be piloted in Lahore, will be action-oriented and will train teachers on how to enable children to understand the importance of water conservation and hydration. This, in turn, will empower communities to play their part in helping reduce the stress on water, a finite resource.

Pakistan is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world with fewer than 1,000 cubic meters of water available per person.

“Nestlé Pakistan has been improving its water efficiency every year,” says Waqar Ahmad, the Head of Corporate Affairs, “but we realise that the water crisis can’t be tackled by working in silos; all of us have to work together. We want to equip as many people as we can with the knowledge of the part they can play in making the situation better.”

  1. I was going to say something on this subject. In any case, now i can see that everything on this point is extremely astonishing and mind blowing, so i don't have anything to say here. I am simply experiencing every one of the points and being valued. A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing
