A dazzling smile 

Focused on giving children better health and a happier life, the team at Duravit supervised the projects. The outcomes are profound, as better sanitation and health have led to reduced absenteeism, while the RO water at schools has filled young hearts with dazzling smiles across their faces. Making children and adults aware of the importance of hygiene and resonating beyond the classroom helps elevate their quality of life and fosters a brighter future.
