Facts
Buy a bottle. Change a life!
Thirsty Planet water is dedicated to bringing clean water to millions of people in sub Saharan Africa. We are working exclusively with Pump Aid, a UK charity with 12 years experience in delivering sustainable and cost effective solutions to provide clean water to impoverished communities.
We’re quietly celebrating at Thirsty Planet because we’ve just sold enough bottles to pay for 2,000 Elephant pumps which can supply 20 litres of clean water a day for ONE MILLION people.
The one millionth person to benefit is Zunisha, a mum of four boys who lives in rural Malawi. Read here, how the new Elephant pump recently installed in her village will make huge improvements to her and her family’s lives.
The pump is a very special one because Chris, Tony and James from Thirsty Planet, and Mike, Simon, Ami and Lisa from Asda lent a hand in building it during a recent trip to Malawi with Pump Aid. Highlight of the visit was spending a night in a rural village and experiencing life without electricity, running water or flushing loos. There are extracts from the team’s diaries here
