We want to highlight the amazing work of Anaa Jibicho PO’23 and his organization Didómi. With each water bottle sold, Didómi provides 10 years of water access to an individual in Africa in need! They use 50% of their proceeds to combat the continuing water crisis that him and his co-founder experienced first-hand. Didómi was a recipient of a Hive Student Creativity Creativity Grant and we are so proud of the impact Anaa and his team are making in the world. You can buy one of their bottles or partner with them at didomigives.com #studentgrant #creativitymatters #watercrisis #watersecurity #watercrisissolutions
