Clean Water Mission is a 501 (c ) 3, social enterprise charity that seeks to fill lives, not landfills. CWM mission is to raise awareness of the global wate crisis while providing simple actions everyone can do to create clean water. We are committed to keeping usable items out of the landfill, selling those items to exporters and using the funds to create clean drinking water for people lacking access to safe water. Business, schools, charities, churches and individuals partner with CWM to hold used shoe and purse drives. CWM collects the items from the drive, sells the items to exporters who ship them for resale in developing countries. All shoe and handbag proceeds and 100% of cash donations fund clean water initiatives.
