Studies have shown improved cognitive functioning has been achieved from good hydration.

Staying hydrated is of vital importance in regulating body temperature when exposed to excessive heat.

Local company No More Bottles has introduced the world’s first Covid-19-secure range of ultraviolet C (UVC) water dispensers to the UAE market.

Pupils are benefiting from contactless water dispensers across their school campus, using resuable bottles and eliminating single use plastic bottles, helping safeguard the future generations.

Al Futtaim Education Foundation, which owns and operates Deira International School and Universal American School in Dubai Festival City, has recently teamed up with No More Bottles.

“The dispensers help us save more than 600,000 plastic bottles per year, which is a great step towards fulfilling our sustainability goals.”
