Our Issue
Our main focus is on water issues, or water pollution in China.

Background Info
A recent study in Beijing found that nearly 2,700 local factories were violating water pollution control guidelines. It's not hard to see that the environmental officials are having a hard time keeping factories under control. Water regulations are also not that hard for factories to temper with - they only cover the bare minimum of what other countries enforce. More than half of China's rivers are too polluted to be used by the locals - as drinking water, a source for washing clothes and food, and other daily services. One quarter of the rivers are so polluted that they cannot be used for industry plants anymore, which was the cause of all this. That is how serious China's water issues have come to. Acid rain, water shortages, pollution, sewage dumps - it happens anywhere, everywhere.

KIWI wants to try our best to make sure that China's waters are safe and clean for everyday use. We want to protect China's rivers, through the factories that are polluting it. Through many organized and revised plans, we can reduce the amount of sewage water that is coming out of China's factories. Hopefully, that will reduce overall the amount of toxic chemicals in China's rivers right now.
