More and more people are setting up a campaign for Join For Water. That’s great, because with a significant collection we can immediately protect more freshwater sources and give more people access to safe drinking water. And this also allows more people to become acquainted with our work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Birth of a child, marriage, birthday, retirement<\/h2>\n

Most campaigns are set up for a <\/span>birth of a child, marriage, birthday or retirement party<\/span>. A birth card or the invitation to the party states that instead of giving a gift you can make a donation to the account number of Join For Water (BE22 5230 8036 1747), with a message of your choice (such as ‘Birth of Marie’, ‘Birthday Etienne’ or ‘Wedding Els and Jan’).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We will send a tax certificate for donations over 40 euros that are deposited directly into our account.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We will provide an overview of the donations received afterwards, so that you can thank the donors in question on behalf of Join For Water.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
