A Ambev will donate more than 1.4 million liters of AMA mineral water, produced by the company, to communities in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The amount is equivalent to 700,000 2-liter bottles of water, and will benefit 240,000 people who live in regions with precarious sanitation and water supply services. In Brazil alone 35 million of Brazilians do not have access to drinking water, and according to the UN, the world will face a deficit of 40% in the supply of drinking water in 2030. The company's initiative will also donate water bottles to 18 hospitals in the municipal and state public health networks of SP.
“As one of the largest companies in the country, we know it is our responsibility to help. At this time, many people are having great difficulty accessing water, due to the isolation we are experiencing, in addition to the economic effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has on society. AMA was created with the purpose of bringing water to people because we know that many Brazilians, even today, live without access to this resource. Now, water is even more necessary, amid the COVID-19 epidemic”, says Carla Crippa, VP of Relations with Society at Ambev in Brazil.
