Spanning an increased number of hygiene kits for people facing hardship and expanded support for water stewardship and foundation initiatives, this year's Sands Cares engagement is providing accelerated support for The WASH Foundation's mission to transform people's lives and improve their health by promoting access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for communities in need across the globe.
Hygiene Kits to Address Hardship: One of the first companies to establish a global kit build program with The WASH Foundation, Sands has hosted these events in its regions around the world since 2014. During that time, the company's Team Members have built 938,000 kits and will increase annual production to 70,000 kits this year, bringing the cumulative total to more than 1 million kits. The WASH Foundation provides these critical hygiene supplies to people and communities facing hardships and crisis situations.
Grants for Water Stewardship: As part of the $500,000 donation, Sands has increased its funding to The WASH Foundation for the Drop by Drop Project to provide larger grant amounts for the program's two grantees designated in Macao and Singapore. This year's recipients will be announced in summer 2024. The Drop by Drop Project was established by Sands and The WASH Foundation in 2019 to support innovative water stewardship projects in Macao and Singapore through grants to local environmental champions that are addressing the program's goals to increase water resiliency, reinvigorate ecosystems, incubate new water solutions and engage the community in these areas.
Capacity-Building Support for the Foundation's Mission: The third component in this year's Sands Cares contribution is $100,000 earmarked for capacity-building to support The WASH Foundation in expanding its reach, with a priority on hygiene curriculum and programs for schools. The foundation has established hygiene curriculum for schools in Uganda and the Dominican Republic, which will become models for other school-centric initiatives.

"Many of the programs we've launched with Clean the World and The WASH Foundation have been pivotal, both for our communities and our people. The organizations' entrepreneurial drive, understanding of our goals and ability to deliver on the mission are why we continue to support these programs and greatly value our long-standing relationship."
