Jon Rose<\/strong> and friends are making valiant efforts to get clean water to people who need it through his Waves For Water <\/a><\/strong>initiative. Now, Nike<\/strong> is taking this opportunity to upgrade their social conscience (and their Hurley<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>surf division) by participating in World Water Day 2014<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Five groups of Clean Water Couriers will lead missions to five different parts of the globe: Brazil, Haiti, Indonesia, Liberia and Nicaragua. Each team of key advocates will include Hurley Surfers and ambassadors to participate in the distribution of water filtration units. The teams will be bringing with them 1,000 water filters for a single-day activation (March 22, 2014), with capacity to provide clean-water access for 100,000 people. . . \u201cWe typically work in a very lean and covert fashion to maximize our efficiency on the ground, but since this specific project is just as much about awareness as it is action,\u201d says Waves For Water Founder Jon Rose. \u201cI’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring some of our longtime friends and advocates \u2013 Carissa Moore<\/strong>, Rosario Dawson<\/strong>, Rob Machado<\/strong>, Alex Atala<\/strong>, and more \u2013 along for the ride.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
