QNET, a leading global e-commerce and direct-selling company, has restated its commitment to tackling the global water crisis.
In celebration of the 2023 World Water Day, QNET emphasised its dedication to sustainability by offering a wide range of health and wellness products that prioritise the conservation of this precious resource. The company is also marking its 25th anniversary with a strong commitment to the responsible consumption of water.
According to a report by Project World Impact (PWI), over 663 million people in the world do not have access to clean water, and over 2.7 billion people face water shortages for at least one month a year. This scarcity is projected to increase due to climate change, population growth, and poor water management practices.
Nigeria is one of the countries most affected by this scarcity, with over 86% of Nigerians lacking access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
“As we celebrate World Water Day this year, it’s crucial that we emphasise the importance of taking individual actions towards creating a sustainable future,” said Biram Fall, Regional General Manager for QNET Sub-Sahara.
“At QNET, we’re proud to support this cause by offering innovative products like HomePure Nova, which is designed to solve drinking water quality problems.”
The HomePure Nova water purification system uses 35+ Ultra-Tech filtration technology to remove impurities, toxins, and bacteria, making it safe to drink and removing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. In addition to its products designed to address the problem of access to drinking water for households, QNET, through its corporate social responsibility branch, RHYTHM (Raise Yourself To Help Mankind) has collaborated with numerous parties to undertake CSR initiatives in Africa, including opening water-well in Burundi.
QNET’s efforts to promote environmental sustainability and responsible consumption align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation). As the world celebrates World Water Day, QNET’s commitment to these causes serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability.
