For clean water in crisis areas - ÖkoFEN expands cooperation with UNICEF Austria

ÖkoFEN, Europe's specialist for pellet heating systems, has been making a positive contribution to the future of children in crisis areas as a UNICEF partner in Austria since 2019, and is thus also taking on social responsibility outside the energy sector. The cooperation with the United Nations Children's Fund has now been extended and intensified - for even better support for the next generation.

Two strong partners: ÖkoFEN and UNICEF Austria
UNICEF is the leading aid organisation for improving water supply and hygiene in crisis regions. The United Nations Children's Fund works globally to improve water, sanitation and essential hygiene practices, especially for disadvantaged children and their families in the world's poorest countries.
ÖkoFEN has already been supporting the Austrian Committee for UNICEF in the field of professional clean water supply since 2019. A central component of this is the treatment of dirty water into drinking water.

"Children are our future and therefore we are proud to be able to contribute decisively to improving the situation for children and their families with our donation and to enable a basic supply of water together with our partner UNICEF," emphasises Managing Director Stefan Ortner.

For the support of the next generation
The existing cooperation has now recently been expanded. With the new Smartlink All-in-One heat accumulator, ÖkoFEN offers its customers convenient hot water preparation as well as hygienic drinking water. The company took this as an opportunity to strengthen the cooperation: For every Smartlink All-in-One heat accumulator sold in Europe, ÖkoFEN donates a "Clean Water Package" to the United Nations Children's Fund.
The water purification tablets contained in the pack are an effective and at the same time safe method of making very large quantities of water drinkable. One tablet is sufficient to purify 4 to 5 litres of water. Each donated package provides 4,000 water purification tablets as well as containers for purification. This will purify up to 20,000 litres of water and turn it into drinking water.

"We are very happy to have such a committed cooperation partner as ÖkoFEN at our side and thank them for their great support for children in need. Thanks to the increased support of ÖkoFEN, we can further expand our Clean Water Programme and actively improve the situation in crisis areas," UNICEF Austria representative Dr. Anna Gudra is pleased about the expanded cooperation.
