Engie to provide sustainable drinking water in Kuwait

Engie Solutions, an international leader in integrated low-carbon and high performance solutions, has recently collaborated with Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) and Trashtag Kuwait (both non-profit organisations) in launching Project My Mai.

This project is the latest environmental and community initiative that aims to provide sustainable drinking water solutions to low-income migrant communities that have been affected by the pandemic.

Engie Solutions Kuwait and Trashtag Kuwait volunteers installed 200 water filters in several communities, helping more than 1,000 people by giving them access to a safe, clean and sustainable source of water.

Carina Maceira, Co-Founder, Trashtag Kuwait, said: “Through Project My Mai, we wanted to support the people of Kuwait by ensuring they have access to clean water but so they will also choose sustainable sources that will eventually reduce the use of plastic.”

Tomas Greenwood, General Manager, Engie Solutions Kuwait, commented: “ It gives us great pride to be able to contribute to Trashtag Kuwait’s efforts to provide sustainable sources of water that will positively impact the environment in the long run, while also encouraging people to make the switch for the betterment of the environment.”

In alignment with Kuwait Vision 2035’s sustainable development goals, this initiative is also expected to prevent over 2 million plastic water bottles from being used.
