Water in School 2025 Report: 400,000 Children Have Access to Safe Drinking Water
In 2025, thanks to the support of partners and donors, 1001fontaines enabled nearly 400,000 children in Cambodia and Madagascar to drink safe water every day at their schools.
Sustainable Access to Safe Drinking Water in Schools
Since 2008, the Water in School programme has been implementing a simple solution: providing free safe drinking water to public schools located near our production sites.
During the 2024–2025 school year, nearly 400,000 schoolchildren benefited from free deliveries of safe drinking water to their schools, a number that keeps growing.

A Direct Impact on Health and Education
Access to safe drinking water at school is a key factor in learning.
Our Water in School program helps to:
- reduce waterborne diseases caused by the consumption of untreated water
- reduce school absenteeism
- improve students’ concentration and learning abilities

With a 3.6% increase in beneficiaries in 2024–2025, the program continues to expand to reach even more children, always with the same goal: to ensure fair and sustainable access to quality water for the most vulnerable.
