This article announces that CH2M HILL employees from around the world have raised more than $170,000 in support of Water For People, an international nonprofit organization based in Denver, Colorado, that works in developing countries to establish programs for locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities, and health and hygiene education. Together with cash and in‐kind contributions, CH2M HILL and its employees committed more than $220,000 to advance the work of the charitable organization. Water For People estimates that $29 will provide clean water or sanitation services in a developing country for a person's lifetime.
