Kentico Brings Clean Water to Communities In Need

Kentico, a Czech software company, is co-sponsoring a public water filtration system for the village of Palla, India, as well as donating web design software for Planet Water Foundation

Kentico is donating web design software for Planet Water Foundation and collaborating with non-profit organizations to make public water filtration systems for World Water Day 2017.

Planet Water Foundation’s Project 24 is planning to install 24 $15,000 AquaTowers, water filtration systems in India.

The systems will be installed in Cambodia, Colombia, India, Indonesia and the Philippines. 

Kentico has an office in Bedford, from which this project was organized. The office works almost independently from the headquarters.

They are ecofriendly and in addition to making software, they wanted to help communities in need in a different, more practical way.

“It’s one thing to bring business software into the world, but it is something altogether different to bring fresh drinking water to a village of several thousand people for the very first time,” Petr Palas, Kentico’s founder and CEO, said in a statement. “Kentico is honored to be associated with a project of such humane intent.” 

AquaTowers will help villages which don’t lack the water supply but the quality of the water questionable and it can make people sick.
