Coway Strengthens Access to Clean Water During Eid Travel Through Water Stations in Public Spaces

Access to clean and easily accessible drinking water has become increasingly important with the rise in societal mobility, particularly during Ramadan and the Eid travel season leading up to Idul Fitri. To address this need, Coway has introduced more than 50 Coway Water Stations scattered across various public spaces, such as mosques and transportation points, to help the public maintain hydration during their travel activities. This initiative is part of Coway’s commitment to supporting sustainability programmes by continuously expanding public access to safe, clean, and high-quality drinking water in various public areas. That commitment is also reflected in Coway’s achievement as The First Halal Water Purifier from Korea. Through the availability of Coway Water Stations in strategic locations, Coway seeks to provide solutions that support the public’s hydration needs. Maintaining hydration is crucial for keeping the body fit during Ramadan, especially ahead of the travel season. This is because the body continues to lose fluids during fasting through activities like breathing, sweating, and metabolic processes. Research in the scientific journal Frontiers in Nutrition indicates that fluid intake during Ramadan often falls below daily recommendations. This condition can affect energy levels and concentration, particularly for those undertaking long journeys. Therefore, staying hydrated is essential to keep the body fit and focused during travel until arriving safely at the destination. “Ramadan and the Eid travel season are important moments for Indonesian society, where mobility increases and the need for access to clean drinking water becomes even more relevant,” said Tony Cho, President Director of Coway Indonesia, in an official statement. Through the provision of Coway Water Stations in various public locations, the company wants the public to have easier access to drinking water, while also continuing to expand the availability of clean drinking water in public spaces as part of Coway’s commitment to supporting healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. Coway Water Stations are available in several mosques in the Jabodetabek and Bandung areas, including Masjid Dzunnuraini Bogor (Rest Area KM 45A Jagorawi), Masjid Amir Hamzah, Masjid Baitul Ilmi Labschool Jakarta, Masjid Raya Al-Musyawarah, Masjid Raya Sunda Kelapa, Masjid Raya Al-Insan Patal Senayan, Masjid WTC Jenderal Sudirman, Masjid Raya Bani Umar, Masjid Raya Al-Azhar Bintaro, Masjid Jami Bintaro Jaya, Masjid Ash Bintaro, as well as Masjid Al-Jabar ITB Bandung, and several other mosques. In addition to places of worship, Coway Water Stations are also available at various busy public transportation points, especially ahead of the travel season. In the Jakarta area, these facilities can be found at Stasiun Gambir, Stasiun Jatinegara, Stasiun Senen, Stasiun Jakarta Kota, as well as Bandara Soekarno-Hatta Terminal 3 (Boarding Lounge). Furthermore, Coway Water Stations are available at several LRT Jabodebek stations, namely Stasiun Jati Mulya, Rasuna Said, Kuningan, Pancoran, Cikoko, Cawang, TMII, Harjamukti, and Jatibening Baru. In West Java, Coway Water Stations are present at several stations such as Stasiun Cikampek, Stasiun Jatibarang, Stasiun Solo Jebres, Stasiun Cicalengka, Stasiun Kiara Condong, Stasiun Bandung, Stasiun Cimahi, and Stasiun Cimindi. Meanwhile, in Central Java and Yogyakarta, the public can find them at Stasiun Kroya, as well as Stasiun Yogyakarta, Stasiun Maguwo, Stasiun Tugu, and Stasiun Lempuyangan. In East Java, Coway Water Stations are also available at several stations such as Stasiun Kertosono, Stasiun Blitar, Stasiun Kediri, Stasiun Blimbing, Stasiun Malang, Stasiun Sepanjang, Stasiun Sidoarjo, and Stasiun Gubeng. Tony Cho added that Coway Indonesia will continue to expand the availability of Coway Water Stations in various public spaces as part of the company’s efforts to improve public access to high-quality drinking water while supporting sustainability initiatives that align with Indonesia’s sustainable development programmes.
