After several years working as a CSR Director in a multinational company, Helmi joined his wife Mehreen in the Grosche project. The couple wanted to have a strong impact on disadvantaged communities and gave themselves the means to act on the ground.
Thus, every purchase of a Grosche product funds over 50 days of clean drinking water for families without access to it, thanks to the installation of Biosand water filters. These filters are designed to purify unsafe water in remote areas. They are made of cement, sand, gravel, and clay. They require no maintenance, electricity, chemicals, or replacement filter cartridges and can last up to 30 years. They are ideal for warm temperate climates and are manufactured locally—creating jobs and skills in the regions that need them most. A visit to the families is scheduled 30 days, 90 days, and one day after installation.
The company is investing in 3 projects:
Drinking water project:This is the company's raison d'être. To date, Grosche has developed drinking water projects in six countries: the Philippines, Malawi, Pakistan, South Sudan, India and Uganda.
10,000 trees plantedAs a partner of Trees for the Future, 10,000 trees have been planted in Haiti and Africa.
Banana plantationThe company cultivates its own banana plantation in South Sudan to help the population diversify their income.
Special attention is paid to workers in partner factories.
Helmi audited them all before signing the contract to ensure that they met the desired social and environmental policy standards.
