2021 World Water Day Celebrating Video Kunchu Community Borehole Solarization
Mar 31 all-day
Online w/ Improving Lives Initiative
Water has often been rightly described as the integral ingredient of life and at Davis and Shirtliff, all efforts have been made to improving the quality and management of this precious resource. Through the #ImprovingLives Initiative launched in 2020, the company and its partners have implemented 295 water projects across the region, improving 658,000 lives in the process. The availability of clean water is known to transform societies in terms of health, education, and economic prosperity and for this reason, World Water Day is observed annually by the UN in order to highlight the importance of sustainably managed freshwater. In commemoration of World Water Day 2021, the D&S #ImprovingLives initiative has solarized a water project in Kunchu community, Kajiado County that will benefit over 1,800 community members and particularly women who previously had to walk 34kms to access safe water for their daily use. The handing over of the water project was celebrated in a colorful ceremony, captured on video and available to view.

What does water mean to you? To Davis & Shirtliff, water is an integral ingredient for life. To commemorate World Water Day 2021, we upgraded the Kunchu Community borehole to a hybrid solar system. The 1,800 member community used to rely on a diesel generator to pump water, using over 70 litres of fuel a week. With the new solar powered system they no longer need to spend money on diesel and instead can harness the power of the sun for free. At Davis and Shirtliff, we dedicate our efforts to improving the quality and management of this priceless resource. Through its #ImprovingLives Initiative, Davis and Shirtliff has implemented 295 water projects, improving 658,000 lives.

BRING A BAG –Feed The Community and Your Love of BMWS!
Mar 31 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
The Foundation Museum

To help those needing assistance, the BMW CCA Foundation Museum is partnering with the Greer Community Ministries. By bringing containerized food to the Museum, visitors will receive a heavily discounted admission and the food will go to a good cause – helping the hungry.

The Greer Community Ministries aids those needing food and clothing. They also run a Meals on Wheels service to over 350 homes daily. And they share their food with other food organizations to help those needing a hand.

The BMW CCA Foundation has the mission of Saving History and Saving Lives. The Foundation houses over 75,000 BMW items and is the largest archive outside of Munich, Germany, the BMW AG headquarters. They save lives through a Street Survival program, a teen driving program that has taught almost 30,000 teens to be better drivers. Teens learn advanced car handling skills and prepare for emergencies by driving with increased awareness and gain techniques to help in unusual circumstances.

The current museum exhibition, called GENESIS: BMW From the Beginning, has the most comprehensive collection of older BMW cars and motorcycles in the US, including the oldest known BMW car in the US, along with many pre-war and post-war vehicles.
