Change a child’s life.
Buying Colgate helps build 30 water wells, changing 120 000 lives.
Water changes lives
Millions of Kenyan children spend hours everyday, fetching water from untreated water sources, containing dangerous water-borne diseases. Consequently, making children and their families sick, leading to more children being absent from school.
Access to clean water will help children not only attend school regularly, but it will help improve their regular hygiene and health, so that they can have a future they can smile about.
What we’re doing
In 2018 Colgate-Palmolive, in partnership with WellBoring, started the journey to provide Kenyan people with sustainable water wells. We have recently impacted over 90 000 lives across Kenya with the water wells initiative.
Each year, Colgate and WellBoring will continue to commit in building 30 water wells at schools throughout Kenya giving over 30 000 Kenyans a reason to smile.
These water wells will provide access to clean, drinkable water to over 120 000 Kenyans by the end of 2022.
The water wells have a lifespan of 10 years and will touch the lives of school children, their families and even the surrounding communities, giving them A Future To Smile About.
What you can do
We’re asking all Kenyans to help us reach our goal. For every Colgate product purchased in participating Naivas stores, during the campaign running from 01/04/2022 to 31/05/2022, Colgate-Palmolive will donate KSH 10 per purchase towards building 30 water wells in Kenya.

Bright Smiles,
Bright Futures
At Colgate we are committed to providing oral health education to children across the world, because we know that good oral care behavior leads to healthier lives.
Colgate’s Bright Smiles Bright Futures program has managed to reach over 30 million children across Africa, teaching them about good oral health.
However, these children need access to clean water to successfully adopt good oral health behaviours. That is why we have partnered with WellBoring, to deliver 30 water wells each year to schools in Kenya. Ensuring that more children have access to clean water and oral care education, giving them A Future To Smile About.
