Commitment to Increase Access to Clean Water for Children in Tanzania
at the Clinton Global Initiative

- Global Action and Hernreich Family Foundation Commit to Increase

Access to Safe Drinking Water for 25,000 Children in Tanzania

Global Action and the Hernreich Family Foundation were announced

today as partners in the Clinton Global Initiative's (CGI) Water and
Sanitation Mega-Commitment at that group's 2008 Annual Meeting in
New York City. Global Action and the Hernreich Family Foundation
pledged their commitment to making safe drinking water accessible to
people living in rural Tanzania.

"Our Commitment to Action will reach 25,000 children in Tanzania

where chronic malnutrition, iron anemia and lack of access to safe
drinking water lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths each year,"
said Michelle Lyden, Chief Executive Officer of Global Action. "We will
do so by bringing innovative technologies directly to households in
order to immediately impact the lives of children."

Global Action and the Hernreich Family Foundation are partners with
the H.J. Heinz Company and Procter & Gamble to implement in-home
use of micronutrient fortification and water purifiers developed by
these companies. Global Action and Hernreich Family Foundation will
distribute Sprinkles(R), a powder containing a blend of vitamins and
minerals added to home prepared meals and PUR(R), a water purifier
that removes parasites, bacteria and viruses from contaminated water.

"In addition to distributing PUR(R) in-home water treatment systems

and Sprinkles(R), we will conduct aggressive community education to
raise awareness of the linkage between nutritional deficiencies and
unsafe drinking water," said Bob Hernreich, Founder and Chairman of
the Hernreich Family Foundation. "Community workers will be trained
to distribute micronutrient supplements and water purifiers as well as
provide information on nutrition and good hygiene and sanitation
practices to mothers and caregivers."

Global Action and the Hernreich Family Foundation will track the
performance of their efforts by analyzing hemoglobin levels and testing
for parasites in participants prior to implementing their plan and then
comparing the results in the same sample four months after the
initiation of the plan. Other factors that will be tracked through
household questionnaires are product acceptability, compliance and
the presence of clinical symptoms.

"We know that our efforts will make a difference and provide an
opportunity for these children to get a healthy start," added Hernreich.
