Generation Overcome & Improve

For every bottle sold, at least €1,- is invested in Generation O&I. Overcome & Improve wants to make a change in the lives of young people. Not in the way that youngster are dependent of Generation O&I, or in a way they feel they are in need or being helped. No, Generation O&I is meant to give young people tools in order for them to explore their inner strength and motivation, climb their personal ladder to reach new heights. To experience to be conscious in the little steps they take and to what destination these small steps lead.

The Overcome & Improve bottle reminds us every day of the power of little steps and motivates us to be determined, disciplined and persistent in climbing our personal life ladder!

It’s all about valuable lessons in life, the – very famous – one’s that teach you the secrets of the techniques how to catch a fish, instead of being given fishes.

Generation O&I offers kids a very simple tool: fun, easy and educational!
