GiveMeTap
Reduce your plastic waste and help fund clean water projects in Africa with GiveMeTap’s reusable bottles.
Access to clean water should be a basic human right. But there are around 663 million people in the world today without it. It’s a shocking stat that needs to change and GiveMeTap offers one way to be part of the solution.
When you buy one of their reusable bottles, 20% of the money goes straight to the brand’s water project fund. Every time they raise enough to complete a water project, the money is donated directly to GiveMeTap’s experienced NGO partners.
These organisations are installing water pumps in African countries like Ghana, Malawi and Namibia and training communities in how to care for them. It’s a long-term, much-needed source of water that’s changing lives.
GiveMeTap’s reusable water bottles are super lightweight (always good when you’re on the move) and durable too. They’re also free from BPA and other harmful substances, so you can quench your thirst with truly clean, uncontaminated tap water.
It’s always annoying when you remember your water bottle but have nowhere to fill it. To save you from that scenario, GiveMeTap designed the Water Network, a map of places where you can refill your bottle around the country. Find it on the free GiveMeTap app – you’ll never have to resort to buying a plastic bottle again.
The quest for a six-pack led Edwin Broni-Mensah to life as a social entrepreneur. What does working out have to do with making reusable bottles? Well, exercising more was thirsty work. And when cafes and restaurants wouldn’t refill his water bottle, Edwin was reminded of his dad’s stories about growing up in Ghana with little access to clean water.
That’s when the business brainwave kicked in. Edwin started creating prototype reusable bottles which he’d sell to fund clean water projects, while adding places where you could refill them to a map called the Water Network. It was the start of GiveMeTap, a biz dedicated to access to safe and clean water, for everyone.
In case you were wondering, he got the six pack as well as creating a meaningful business doing bucket-loads of good. Win-win.
