Boeh Agency and Surge for Water Announce Partnership

PHILADELPHIA – Boeh Agency (Bā), a leading marketing and PR agency dedicated to creating impact in the water sector, has announced a strategic partnership with Surge for Water, a nonprofit committed to providing global communities with access to safe water, sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health solutions. This collaboration aims to elevate awareness of Surge's mission and further drive its efforts to secure clean water for those who need it most.

 

Through this partnership, Boeh Agency will leverage its expertise in strategic communications to expand Surge’s reach, engaging new audiences and strengthening the message of water equity and sustainability. Together, Bā and Surge are poised to make a transformative impact, helping to bring greater visibility to the critical issue of global water scarcity and the life-changing work being done to combat it.

 

"In many impoverished regions around the world, young children—particularly girls—are unable to attend school due to the burden of collecting water for their families, the risk of waterborne illnesses and a lack of access to menstrual products or adequate hygiene facilities," said Surge Founder and Executive Director Shilpa Alva. "Women and girls bear the greatest weight of the water crisis, with an estimated 12 million girls missing up to 20% of school each month due to menstruation. This disruption often leads to higher dropout rates, limiting future employment opportunities, and in many cases, contributing to early marriage and childbirth, which further curtails their ability to earn an income."

 

Hand in hand with local communities and with women leading the way, Surge has been addressing the global water crisis since 2008. The organization reported a record 43% growth in impact in 2023, reaching 108,000 people across Haiti, Uganda, Indonesia and the Philippines. Its efforts focus on making transformational change across four key areas:

 

●     Safe water: Water impacts all areas of life—education, health, income and overall well-being.

●     Sanitation: Proper sanitation facilities help keep children in school.

●     Hygiene: Hand washing with water and soap saves lives.

●     Menstrual health: Access to menstruation resources ensures that no woman or girl is limited by something as natural and normal as her period.

 

 

Committed to helping raise awareness to Surge critical mission, Bā is adding to its long-standing commitment to philanthropic issues. Since inception, the company has supported organizations such as Charity Water, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, NAACP, Montgomery County LGBT Business Council, Water for People and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
