One

During today's lecture we learned about One water which is a water company with a difference. It was set up in 2003 by a group of friends after they became aware that about 1 billion people didn't have access to clean water. They decided that action needed to be taken and that they should launch a not-for-profit bottled water which would give all its profits away to fund well-building programmes. I was interested to learn a little more about their work so had a look at their website when I got home, I have since learned that they sell a range of products including toilet roll, hand wash and even condoms. These might appear to a random mix of products but each one seems to have been chosen with relevance to the problems African communities face. Money made from selling toilet roll and hand wash goes into educating communities on hygiene while profits from the condoms fund HIV projects. With so many people buying these types of products everyday its amazing to think what difference supporting this brand could make to millions of people's lives.
