Our not-for-profit fund is committed to bringing clean water to every child in China, with RMB200,000 donated in our August 2014 trip and RMB11,500,000 filtration equipment committed in January 2015.
As a social enterprise, a portion of Siyuan’s proceeds from every sale goes towards funding our social projects.
We believe in starting a social movement by turning our customers into advocates for clean water.

DONATEWe interview local education staff, students, and villagers to gain a deeper understanding of the extent of water pollution in local water sources and local water drinking habits.
ViewWe work with our social partners to conduct chemical and biological analysis on local water samples both onsite and in the laboratory.
ViewWe identify suitable sites for project implementation based on the results of the interviews, surveys, and water quality inspection.
A Siyuan filter removes chemical pollutants, bacteria and viruses, bringing safe drinking water to children in quick and cost efficient manner.
We have committed RMB11.5 million worth of Siyuan filters for our social projects in January 2015. Beyond that, we hope to build a truly sustainable model by pledging a school filtration system that can provide clean water for 30 children for every 30 Siyuan filters sold.
ViewSome of the children we have met have never owned their own drinking bottle. We promise to donate one Siyuan bottle to a child in need for every Siyuan bottle sold.
We believe our social water projects should not come with a hidden cost. We shoulder all shipping costs and work with our social partners on the ground to install our filtration systems.
Local teachers responsible for the social water projects are trained to replace the filters on a regular basis. All future replacement filters will be funded through our social model.
We conduct water safety workshops for children in the schools we visit including simple experiments that can be carried out to determine water quality.
ViewWe revisit implemented social projects to learn more about the impact of clean water on people’s lives 4b Our Progress – can keep it simple.

Project Implementation
Hubei is where we implemented our first social water project, and Wuhan University is also home of our social partner, Wuhan University Qingquan Project. Although the tap water within Wuhan wis one of the cleanest in the nation, the same cannot be said of the neighboring counties.
In these counties, water treatment facilities are either nonexistent or outdated. In the most dire situations, villagers drink directly from water sources polluted with cancerouschemicals. Installing water filtration solutions will help remove these chemicals and give the children in Hubei a healthier, happier childhood.
Project Implementation
Guizhou is known to its visitors as a beautiful destination. Its mountain ranges are home to three ethnic minority prefectures. Economic development has introduced water pollution into Guizhou without accompanying solutions. Ironically, it’s Guizhou’s beautiful mountain topography that is slowing down the implementation of water treatment facilities.
Villages we visited are increasingly exposed to polluted water sources. We want our social water projects to be very first step in restoring clean and healthy drinking water to the children of these villages.
Project Implementation
Yunnan is home to some of the most beautiful places in China. Beyond travel destinations such as Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La, we visited some of the poorest regions in the Province. What we saw shocked us. In Jizushan, where there wasn’t a centralized water supply system, it was common for villagers to drink from wells with fishes living in them.
Yunnan’s legendary beauty was one of the reasons why we chose it as a destination for our social trips. But learning more about the local water quality has given us a reason to return. We hope to be back in 2015, this time with solutions.
Project Implementation
After our first trip to Southwest China, our water projects received a major boost in the form of RMB11.5 million worth of water filtration units donated by the Lan Qilin Charity Foundation.
Siyuan in Mandarin is a wordplay on the Chinese proverb, “饮水思源” which means remembering your roots.
These water filtration units represented an opportunity for us to give back to an area and its people that made Siyuan possible.
Fujian is home not just to Siyuan’s manufacturing base, but also to the hundreds of migrant workers who are working to supply Siyuan with the technology to supply clean water to China’s most far flung areas.
On January 25, 2015, Siyuan and Lan Qilin Charity Foundation signed an agreement with the Fujian government to bring these RMB11.5 million worth of water filtration units to the economically underdeveloped counties in Fujian.
We hope to replicate our success in Fujian across China in the coming years.
