Founded by Duncan Goose in 2005, One is the ethical bottled water that
donates 100% of its profits to funding water projects in developing
countries.
One water has, to date, funded over 101 PlayPump® water systems
providing over 252,500 African people with easy access to clean and safe
water. A PlayPump is a child¹s roundabout installed over a sustainable
borehole. When children play on the roundabout, it pumps clean water
from deep underground into storage tanks where it is then easily
accessible from a tap. The PlayPump not only gives schools and
communities a free, clean, sustainable water supply, but children get to
play and go to school rather than spending time collecting water.
Schools also take advantage of the water supply to help implement
hygiene and irrigation programmes.
One water is enabling consumers to help improve the lives of millions
without donating a penny, but by simply switching bottled water brands.
