ArchTam employees invest US$1 million in improved water and sanitation projects creating US$5 million in economic productivity <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"LOS ANGELES (June 14, 2018) \u2014 Water For People<\/a>, an international nonprofit working to provide lasting quality water and sanitation services, celebrates its 10-year partnership with ArchTam<\/a>, a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm. For 10 years, the partnership has promoted the development of safe drinking water and reliable sanitation services accessible to Everyone Forever<\/a> in specific districts in the nine countries where Water For People works.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, ArchTam employees invested US$1 million in improved water and sanitation projects around the world, through direct contributions, fundraising activities and volunteerism. This investment has created US$5 million in economic productivity and has provided local communities with approximately 3.6 million gallons of water, which is equivalent to 6.6 million days\u2019 worth of drinking water*.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchTam\u2019s support of Water For People over the last 10 years has enabled us to improve the quality of life for more than 18,000 people by building new water distribution systems. In addition, we help ensure the systems continue to operate for future generations by working with local governments to develop the governance structures and water service providers too,\u201d said Eleanor Allen, Water For People\u2019s chief executive officer. \u201cArchTam\u2019s partnership goes back to our founding 27 years ago. Numerous employees have volunteered with Water For People over the years and continue to support us today. Thank you, ArchTam!\u201d<\/p>\n

Water For People helps local governments, communities and businesses develop long-term water solutions. Together they plan, design, and build the infrastructure and create a sustainable long-term service delivery model for operation and maintenance of the water and sanitation systems. Through programs across nine countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, Water For People works toward achieving the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goal #6 of ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, by 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support communities in need through our global partnership with Water For People, working together to ensure sustainable access to clean water and safe\u00a0sanitation systems,\u201d said Brendan Ranson-Walsh, ArchTam\u2019s vice president of external communications and corporate responsibility. \u201cArchTam\u2019s purpose is to deliver a better world, and we are taking action by opening doors, creating opportunity and protecting tomorrow. Through our Blueprint for a Better World corporate responsibility program, we are bolstering our employees\u2019 dedication and commitment to making a positive impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
