Water for all

Water for all

They could not bear it any longer: the knowledge that elsewhere children die of thirst, while in Central Europe there is plenty of water. "This injustice affects us personally as human beings," says Jakub from myhive tenant Atlas Copco, and his colleague Sandra adds: "My throat is always closed when I think about how many people suffer unspeakably every hour because of water shortage or poor water quality.

The two of them, together with their colleagues, took the decisive step: from being affected to acting. 

"We thought to ourselves: This is an issue that not only belongs to our private commitment, but also to our workplace. The 'Water for All' project was born quickly, but its implementation in our working environment was only possible with myhive".

And this implementation was sensational: in the middle of the Business Park myhive Pankrác House in Prague, the committed team set up a charity food market and sold culinary creations for a good cause. Within a few hours, a large part of the community - i.e. the employees of the various tenants - was involved. The secret behind this is the excellent information and close networking of the local people, which is typical for myhive locations.

"In a different office environment, we would probably have put up a few posters in the lobby or sent e-mails to the companies on our own luck," says Jakub. Here, on the other hand, a brief conversation with Community Manager Lenka is enough, and the information was immediately sent to the community in a highly professional and perfectly prepared form. Otherwise everyone would have just wondered about our market stall."

Lenka found the idea great and a perfect fit for the spirit at the location: "myhive stands not least for the intensive human exchange, for possibilities of communication, shared fun and shared commitment like here. The 'Water for All' project inspired me from the very first moment - and so did many hundreds of people here".

The result is something to be proud of: A considerable sum came together through the sale at the Charity Food Market - and many new friendships arose. This benefits the project, because it is precisely from these relationships that new ideas for the next wave of the project are already gushing forth. myhive makes it possible!
