Salta, Argentina, August 15th, 2019.-Arca Continental, one of the top Coca-Cola bottlers in the world, installed, in collaboration with the social business known asProyecto Agua Segura(Safe Water Project), 16 water filters in the province of Salta.

The project--in which The Coca-Cola Company is also participating, and is coordinated by the ministries of Social Development, of Education, and of Agribusiness, as well as the Infancy Ministry in Salta--will benefit more than 1000 children in the province. It has already had a positive impact in over 14,000 children because more than 360 filters have been installed in Salta since 2016.

 “We are very pleased with the work we have been doing in collaboration with Agua Segura given that the program not only grants access to a resource that is vital to the life of so many people, particularly children, but it also creates awareness on the importance of the right everyone has to drink safe water,” stated Sergio Giménez, director for Arca Continental Argentina.

With actions such as these, Arca Continental reiterates its commitment to the comprehensive development of communities and to continue investing in promoting the well-being of people who live in the communities where we operate.
