Saniflo North America, a division of Group SFA, a leader in above-the-floor macerating and grinding toilets and drain pumps, has announced a partnership with Plumbers Without Borders as a Mission Supporter Sponsor.
The ultimate goal is to support the group's mission to connect volunteer plumbers and industry resources with organizations working to increase access to safe water and sanitation worldwide. The announcement comes just ahead of World Plumbing Day on March 11, a day that is meant to promote the importance of the plumbing trade and highlight the parts of the world that still struggle with providing sufficient plumbing systems for citizens.
“We have been gratified and encouraged by our industry’s generosity, and we’re excited and proud to be aligned with SFA Saniflo,” says Domenico DiGregorio, president of Plumbers Without Borders.
DiGregorio adds that Plumbers Without Borders is currently coordinating with partner organizations involved in installing rainwater harvesting systems, water filtration and above-ground water tank storage, in addition to building pit latrines and other hygiene improving systems in several villages in Africa.
“I was heartened to see SFA Saniflo’s story of a donation equivalent to three Planet Water filtration systems in Cambodia,” DiGregorio says.
As a Mission Supporter Sponsor, Saniflo North America will support the philanthropic work of Plumbers Without Borders with product donations and technical support on a case-by-case basis. Based on past projects, the organization predicts one or two projects that could benefit from Saniflo’s innovative, above-floor plumbing solutions.
“We look forward to partnering with Plumbers Without Borders on projects that could potentially benefit from Saniflo’s above-floor macerators, grinders and drain pumps,” says Regis Saragosti, CEO of SFA Saniflo North America. “Plumbers Without Borders has done so much to advance community empowerment and improve sanitation around the world, and we are proud to be a part of that mission.”
