Fact: In the Philippines, 1 in 10 people still do not have access to safe, clean drinking water—and it threatens not just their communities’ health and sanitation, but also their own development.
To join the fight to provide clean water access for all, Winery.ph, the Philippines’ largest online wine and spirits marketplace, has officially launched its donation program on its website. Named Wine Into Water, this program allows website customers to make donations alongside their purchases to non-profit organization Waves For Water, which works with and for underserved communities in providing clean water access.

“Waves For Water has been around in the Philippines for over 10 years now,” says Jenica Dizon-Mountford, Country Director for Waves For Water Philippines. “We’ve impacted 82 provinces—from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi—where we have a presence in implementing over 24,000 filters now, positively impacting the lives of over 2 million Filipinos. Our mission is to provide access to clean water, and we are very excited to announce this collaboration with Winery.ph because we become closer to making this a reality for all Filipinos.”
“We all know the story of Jesus Christ turning water into wine,” says Winery.ph Managing Director Chris Urbano. “Being a champion of the poor, I’m sure he would not mind that we turn wine back into water to help provide for disadvantaged Filipino communities. Winery.ph is thrilled to announce this partnership with Waves For Water, and through this program, we hope to support its activities as a wine-loving community together with our customers.”
