Henk Witteveen is an entrepreneur at heart and owns various businesses such as Earth Water, Boothstock, Kidstock Festival and many more. In a recent podcast, he talked about his projects and shared details about Earth Water.
According to Henk, every day, 6000 people lose their lives due to the absence of clean drinking water. To tackle this issue, Henk started Earth Water, which provides consumers with clean drinking water, coffee, and tea. The best part is that Earth Concepts, the parent company of Earth Water, donates 100% of its net profit to fund sustainable water projects aimed at creating clean drinking water.
Therefore, the aim of Earth Water is not to ask people to donate money or work as volunteers but to request them to consume their products and support their cause. By purchasing Earth Water, coffee, or tea, people can contribute to creating a better future for communities that lack access to clean water.
