Water for everyone – Hygolet supports Viva con Agua

Hygolet had the pleasure of supporting the second edition of the “Kick it for Water” football tournament organized by Viva con Agua Switzerland as a shirt sponsor (and of playing in the tournament itself). In addition to games, fun and a good atmosphere, over CHF 10,000 was raised for Viva con Agua’s water projects.

Kick it for Water

On the weekend of World Water Day, there was a lot of sporting action. The Hygolet team represented the WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) project in Tanzania at the Viva con Agua “Kick it for Water” soccer tournament. In the rapidly growing city of Njombe, 20 craftsmen are being trained as well and pump experts to promote local trade and build high-quality, sustainable wells. In total, 2,500 people benefit from sustainable access to clean drinking water.

Our commitment

As a jersey sponsor at the “Kick it for Water” soccer tournament, Hygolet was not only able to represent one of the eight teams, but also make an important financial contribution to the WASH projects. As a member of the Social Business Club of Viva con Agua, we also contribute to the medium-term goal of covering 100% of the administrative and marketing costs, so that 100% of the generated donations can be used for the water projects of Viva con Agua.
