OUR STORY

Water is life! Without it neither man, animals or plants could survive but despite being the most abundant liquid on earth, pure, clean and unadulterated drinking water isn’t always easy to come by. At California Love Water we believe that our planet’s most precious substance should be easily accessible to all and that with a little love we can make that a reality. I'm Ashley Frey, founder of California Love Water and advocate for clean drinking water. In 2013 I was fortunate to discover Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water studies which demonstrated the powerful effects of placing our intentions towards water.

Dr. Emoto took 2 bottles of water and wrote love on one and hate on the other. He froze them and using a high powered microscope he was able to photograph the water crystal formations. The bottles with positive affirmations like love, peace, joy and gratitude froze in beautiful snowflake like crystals while the bottles with hate, fear, negativity and doubt looked almost like cancer cells. I was fascinated to see that aside from its fundamental functions, water is alive and able to take on many forms. Knowing that the human body is made up of 70% water it became clear to me just how much the quality of water correlates with a person’s mental and physical well-being. It was then that I decided to create a bottled water company based around positive affirmations and raise the energy vibrations of the world thus California Love Water was born. I knew I wanted to donate a percentage of my proceeds to a water relief charity because I am passionate in my belief that everyone in the world should have access to clean drinking water. In January 2017 I travelled to Nicaragua to volunteer for an organization called Love Water that builds biosand filters and wells for communities without access to clean drinking water. I convinced my Dad to come with me on this journey and we were able to see and experience for ourselves the difference that clean drinking water can make to a community.On this same trip we embarked on a grueling two and a half hour hike to a remote village to discover that their well had completely run dry. It was a mystery to us how these people were surviving in such conditions.

That night when we finally reached our hotel and gratefully quenched our thirst my father decided then and there that he would donate the funds needed to re-dig the well for that village. He has been such an inspiration to me and he got so much more than he gave by giving this community clean water. We can't wait to see the positive impact and opportunity clean water will bring to their lives. That journey marked the beginning of California Love Water and 5% of our profits will go to the Love Water charity to provide clean water to communities in Nicaragua and Africa.
