ASTERRA Gives Global empowers partners and transforms communities

ASTERRA channel partner directs award funds to support autism services and encourage community resilience

Tel Aviv, May 13, 2024 – Today, ASTERRA honored Arie Shavit, a major contributor to reaching their milestone of finding 100,000 verified water leaks. The recognition comes as a part of the ASTERRA Gives Global program, which is designed to recognize and empower ASTERRA’s worldwide partners and their communities. In accepting this award, Shavit requested a donation be made to ALUT – The Israeli Society for Autistic Children.

ALUT is an organization that provides vital support services for children and families impacted by Autism. ASTERRA donated $11,566 USD to ALUT, which is $1 for every leak found through Shavit’s efforts.

Last year, Shavit executed a contract with Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos S.A. (AySA) providing ASTERRA solutions that has already yielded millions of dollars in water savings in Argentina and makes great strides toward sustainable water programs in that country. Shavit is the managing partner at Hestia Argentina and collaborated with Andres Ortiz from Try-Teck Argentina in reaching the milestone.

“We are pleased to support the mission of ALUT and to contribute to their efforts to ensure the well-being and future of people with autism,” said Elly Perets, chief executive officer of ASTERRA. “The ASTERRA Gives Global initiative empowers our partners to make a tangible difference in their communities, to build resilience, and to make them stronger.”

The announcement of the donation was made at ASTERRA’s Partner Summit hosted as a kickoff event to IFAT Munich, where ASTERRA is currently showcasing their global partners in their booth, #C3.233.
