Windows of Hope - Lien AID

in Asia still lack access to clean water.

How different would your life be without clean drinking water?

In the age of artificial intelligence and driverless cars, the necessity of clean water is often overlooked. Often neglected as well, are the many rural communities who still face challenges accessing clean water regularly.

For them, clean water is a Window of Hope for better health and a better quality of life.

The Experience

Windows of Hope is a virtual reality (VR) experience and roving exhibition on Asia’s need for clean water. We are bringing this immersive event right into the offices of companies and organisations in Singapore to give employees a unique chance to journey into Cambodia and Myanmar vicariously, and discover for themselves what life without clean water is like.

“At Credit Suisse, employees are encouraged to support local communities by donating their time and skills to initiatives and projects run by partner non-for- profit organisations. We were very pleased to host Lien AID’s exhibition, which gave employees a unique opportunity to learn about water challenges in rural Asia through immersive technology.”
“We organise various charity events throughout the year to raise awareness of our staff about key social and environmental issues in Asia. We also provide financial grants to not-for- profit partners which provide underprivileged children and youth with access to quality education.”- Ms Laetitia Lienart, Vice President, APAC Corporate Citizenship, Credit Suisse
“Lien AID has used a very interactive medium to engage us with sights and sounds to enhance our experience at the exhibition. This has given us a clearer picture of the situation in the rural villages. We saw that a lot of help is needed for these communities to access clean water and sanitation”. – Mr Chan Hian Young, Partner at Allen & Gledhill
Allen & Gledhill has been assisting Lien AID in setting up its project office in Myanmar.
“Under our global ‘Expedia Cares’ CSR programme, clean water and sanitation is one of our focuses in the region and for Singapore. The challenge for clean water is a key developmental need for many of Asia’s rural poor. It is also an issue close to Singapore. As a global travel and technology company, it is important to cultivate and encourage our employees to support community outreach programmes through volunteering efforts.”
“It is rewarding to see the Expedia Cares programme providing a platform for our employees to achieve that through multiple initiatives that matter to our country and community.” – Mr Jason Chuei, CSR lead at Expedia Asia Pacific
