Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber Believes The Power Of Water Can Unite The World

One of the most critical challenges of the 21st century is providing clean water access to billions of people around the world. Sustainable clean water is a vital component necessary to life and nearly 800 million people lack access to clean water while 2.5 billion are deprived of access to adequate sanitation. Caesars Acquisition Co. CEO Mitch Garber has joined forces with Cirque du Soleil and One Drop Foundation founder Guy Laliberté to create a powerful coalition working toward solving the world’s water access and management challenges.

One Drop Foundation

One Drop is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to ensure clean water is accessible to all. The foundation’s unique sustainable intervention model develops innovative water access and management projects that encourage resourcefulness to people in disadvantaged, rural and semi-rural regions of Latin America, West Africa and Asia. Mitch Garber CEO of Caesars acquisition Co, and Caesars Interactive Inc., sits on the board of directors of the One Drop Foundation and has raised in excess of $10 million dollars with the Big One for One Drop Tournament hosted by the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

One Drop Projects

One Drop supports clean water activities with a high social and environmental impact. Art and culture is used to mobilize people in impoverished communities to provide education about water issues. Access to solidarity financing is given to foster development of income-generating activities, thus making it possible to create jobs and stronger self-reliant communities. The Foundation currently has projects in Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, and Nicaragua.

One Drop Approach

Water To Live – One Drop provides communities with clean water access by creating the physical infrastructures needed, and endow them with indispensable skills and knowledge, to create a shared responsible effort in maintaining and managing the resource.

Water To Prosper – One Drop inspires economic activity by providing families and individuals with access to micro-loans. The income-generating activities from subsequent ventures help build sustainable communities around the world.

Water To Inspire – Communities are mobilized through social arts and shared beliefs to understand water issues more easily. This communication on a local level helps One Drop to quickly connect and convince people to embrace good water management practices.
