Our Story

Clean water for everyone, everywhere

Our Story

Marie-Stella-Maris is a Dutch lifestyle brand with a social mission;  clean water for everyone, everywhere. We contribute by selling natural mineral water and luxurious care products. From every item sold, we donate to water projects all over the world.


We care for water
We strongly believe that people have the right to live in dignity, which includes the right to clean, safe and accessible (drinking) water. Having access to clean water will empower people to take control of their lives and build their own future.

For each litre of our mineral water sold, we donate 5 cents to projects enabling clean water. Additionally, 5% of all our care turnover also contributes.

Since our launch in 2011, the Marie-Stella-Maris Foundation has raised over €800,000. This has enabled us to support 11 clean drinking water projects providing more than 27,000 people with access to clean drinking water. 

"Having access to clean water will empower people to take control of their lives and build their own future."

How it began
Whoever you are, wherever you are, water is life. Access to a clean source is the basis of health and security. This is not yet a reality for everyone however. Everyday, people all over the world, mostly children, experience the harmful and often fatal consequences of not having enough.

64/292 The human right to water and sanitation.

When in 2010 the United Nations declared access to clean drinking water and sanitation to be a human right, our founder Patrick Munsters (r.) got inspired. Together with his business partner Carel Neuberg (l.) he co-founded Marie-Stella-Maris, to inspire people to consume more (socially) conscious and contribute.
