one water
We can't change the world overnight, but we can change it one person, one day at a time.one water is a fantastic brand of Welsh, ethical spring water - and it was the official water of Live8 in July 2005.
The price of each bottle contains a donation to PlayPumps; an amazing charity based in South Africa. PlayPumps install unique and lifesaving Roundabout systems in poverty stricken countries including Swaziland, Mozambique, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia and Malawi. These Roundabouts pump clean, safe drinking water from bore holes up to 100m deep, as children play on them, providing an ultra long term solution to drinking water provision.
Currently, collecting water requires an African to walk on average five hours each day. The installation of Roundabouts in some communities has allowed time to be focussed on education and simply playing. Children had no time to experience these activities before, and enjoy the Roundabouts so much, that in many cases surplus water that is pumped is used to grow crops
The Students' Union is really keen to get involved in such a good cause and is currently looking at the possibility of no longer stocking other brands of bottled water and only selling one water in all retail units and bars. This would mean that every time you buy a bottle of water, you'd be making a difference.
