Clean Drinking Water - Doing Our Bit

Caroline Pickering

We're aware that keeping our staff members hydrated will aid them to perform at their very best throughout the work day. As a result, we decided to invest in water dispensers from AquAid.

Our relationship with AquAid has also given our company the opportunity to help those without access to clean water, because with each purchase an automatic donation is made to the Africa Trust. These funds are used to build 'Elephant Pumps' – a modified version of an age old Chinese rope pulley system. One such pump is currently being installed in Africa on our behalf and it will be a much needed source of clean and fresh drinking water for many.

The Africa Trust well

Our company's name will be proudly displayed on our well and we look forward to sharing some photos of villagers using the well in the near future.

To date AquAid have built over 5,000 such Elephant Pumps across parts of Zimbabwe and Malawi; and have donated in excess of £8 million to charity.
