Now, they are urgently scaling their efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 in the regions they serve.

"We believe in the work that charity: water and their local partners are doing, both during this pandemic and beyond, to help mitigate the spread of the virus, as well as increase access to clean, safe drinking water for people and communities around the world," said Alexa Dembek, DuPont’s Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer. "Clean water is one of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals that we’re focused on and we’re pleased to support charity: water in their efforts and look for opportunities where our expertise in this area can further this shared purpose."
