For #NestleCares day, thousands of the company's employees around the United States volunteered to help educate children about the importance of water stewardship. With a focus on water conservation, sustainability, and caring for the environment, the volunteerism hopes to instill in kids a recognition of the importance and fragility of the natural environment.
#NestelCares day was carried out in partnership with Project WET (Water Education for Teachers.) The organization provides teaching materials and activities to help educate kids and teens, and the company's expertise was essential for the work of the Nestle employees. The goal behind Project WET's resources is to make the learning material as engaging as possible — thus the #NestleCare events included various stations and activities that were hands-on, visual, and fun for kids.
