TCCC Commits US$30 Million To Clean Water Projects Across Africa 

Atlanta: The Coca-Cola Company announced today that it has committed US $30MM over the next six years to provide access to safe drinking water to communities throughout Africa through its Replenish Africa Initiative (RAIN). Implemented by The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation, RAIN will provide at least 2 million Africans with clean water and sanitation by 2015. 

The Company's strategy for achieving that goal has three components:

• Reduce - Improving water efficiency by 20 percent by 2012, compared to a baseline year 2004.
• Recycle - Returning all water the Company uses for manufacturing processes to the environment at a level that supports aquatic life and agriculture by the end of 2010.
• Replenish - Expanding the Company's support of healthy watersheds and sustainable community water programs to balance the water used in its finished beverages.
