PepsiCo helps bring water to parched regions of the nation

The China Women's Development Foundation has roped in PepsiCo Inc, the company which makes Frito-Lay snacks and beverage brands like Mountain Dew and Tropicana, for its "Water Cellar for Mothers Safe Water Access" project that seeks to provide safe water to remote and inland regions in China.

According to Meng Xiaosi, vice-chairwoman of the All - China Women's Federation, Indra Nooyi, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, would serve as the first international charity ambassador for the project. "I am grateful to receive this honorary title, and I am pleased to accept it on behalf of PepsiCo associates around the world," said Nooyi.

"For us, the honor comes with a responsibility to continue to bring solutions to those who need them most. While I am pleased with the results we have worked to achieve together over the past three years, we know our work is far from complete. We at PepsiCo are committed to continuing our work to help China address the problem of safe water access."
