This has to be one of the greatest initiatives I have seen. “The One Foundation is the charitable division of Global Ethics Limited. We are a UK-based registered charity that works with communities in Africa to address the most pressing humanitarian needs, such as clean drinking water, nutrition and HIV/AIDS testing.” 100% of the companies profits from selling bottled water go to building PlayPump® water systems in Africa.
“Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. Like the amazing PlayPump® water systems you help fund every time you buy a bottle of One Water.
The PlayPump® uses a specially crafted children’s roundabout to pump water from deep underground. So, as children spin on the roundabout, fresh, clean water is pumped from a borehole into a storage tank for use by the entire community.
It’s a simple idea but one that is changing the lives of thousands of African people. Now, instead of walking for hours to collect water, children can go to school and the entire community benefits from access to fresh drinking water.
A PlayPump® provides much more than clean water. It provides a community with a sustainable resource that saves time and energy and facilitates education, hygiene and health. Plus, excess water can be used to irrigate vegetable gardens, giving communities the opportunity to grow and sell their own crops. “
