Helping the most impoverished people in the world improve the quality of their lives by supporting locally sustainable drinking water, sanitation, and health and hygiene projects.
CH2M HILL has supported Water For People since its founding in 1991. Their mission echoes CH2M HILL's commitment to building a better world. The firm's involvement dates back to Ken Miller, former CH2M HILL senior vice president, who helped start the organisation in 1991. Today, many employees participate in local Water For People committees, and Elisa Speranza, President of CH2M HILL's Operations & Maintenance business group, serves on the board of directors. CH2M HILL has hosted a global online giving campaign benefiting Water For People since 2003, raising more than $647,000 to date. In addition to hosting an annual Water For People workplace giving campaign, CH2M HILL supports a variety of public awareness and fundraising events throughout the year.
In addition, CH2M HILL employees volunteer as members of Water For People's World Water Corps. The World Water Corps programme matches the specific needs and requirements of Water For People's country programmes with the skills and passion of people throughout North America who want to enhance the impact of the organisation's work overseas. CH2M HILL employees have assisted with projects such as mapping to provide baseline data for development, monitoring the functionality of past projects, and evaluating overall programme effectiveness.
