Water-to-Go: Changing the World, One Bottle at a Time

Giving back is something that is at the heart of what we do so we are always looking to get involved in charitable projects and causes that align with our mission and aims.

Every person in the world needs clean contamination free water to survive. At Water-to-Go, we want to give the World safe clean water that they can afford. In the Western world, we take clean water and sanitation for granted but for many others across the world, that fundamental right is just a dream. We want to make a difference and are working with various charities and organisations, as we continue to expand, to try to make that dream a reality.

One of our key goals is to support the work of charities and their efforts in supporting the underprivileged. Since we started in 2010, we have supported many different initiatives and worthwhile causes to further our mission and goals. This can be on support for colleagues who travel abroad and need clean water to allow them to carry out their duties and mission, providing promotion and exposure via our website and social media channels, or donating bottles to various projects in underprivileged communities through referral schemes.

We are working with Just a Drop to help provide clean water for all

Just a Drop is a charity that seeks to provide sustainable safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects to communities across the world, transforming lives. They believe everyone, everywhere, should have access to clean water as a basic right so are working to make this happen. We all want to see a world where everyone has clean water and adequate sanitation, and the increased health and prosperity this brings. Their sustainable projects provide support to communities, such as through the construction of hand-dug and drilled wells, pipelines, sand dams, rainwater harvesting systems and latrines, and hygiene and sanitation programmes. They have reached over 1.5 million people in 32 countries since we began in 1998. Their project work is currently focused in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Nicaragua, Uganda and Zambia. To find out more about Just a Drop, or to make a donation, please visit: www.justadrop.org

Just a Drop support the creation of sustainable, water and food secure communities in marginalised and underprivildged areas. They also work with SHGs and schools to provide hygiene training in the places that they work. They support soil and water conservation food security programmes, as with a stable source of nutritious food, the health of the whole community improves.

To mark our partnership, Water-to-Go has produced a limited edition 50cl Just a Drop bottle. This is available to purchase on our website at £16.99 and from every sale, Water-to-Go will donate £5.00 to Just a Drop and their safe water projects. Learn more here.

We are working with the African Wildlife Foundation to ensure wildlife and wild lands thrive in modern Africa

Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has nearly 60 years of experience working to ensure wildlife and wild lands thrive in a modern Africa. As one of the oldest and largest conservation organizations focused solely on the continent of Africa, AWF is the primary advocate for the protection of African wildlife and wild lands. AWF works across the continent of Africa implementing programmes that are focused on safeguarding areas of high conservation value through a holistic suite of projects that protect land, conserve wildlife, improve the lives of local people by enhancing access to education and income-generating activities, and leverage conservation enterprises to promote economic growth that is not at the expense of Africa’s natural heritage. To learn more, visit www.awf.org

Water-to-Go are working with the African Wildlife Foundation in order to raise money and awareness of the work that they do and to ensure wildlife and wild lands thrive in modern Africa.

African Wildlife Foundation is improving the lives of local people, helping their communities, and saving wildlife simultaneously. They work directly with communities to understand the obstacles they face and provide solutions specific to their needs. Also, by setting up economic enterprises, incentivizing conservation, and investing in landscapes across the continent, AWF creates new opportunities for Africans to both improve their lives and embrace conservation.

Water-to-Go have produced a special edition bottle that helps protect the African wildlife. We will donate £10 + VAT from every special bottle sold towards AWF’s work to protect the wildlife and wild lands in Africa. You can purchase the bottle here.

Supported Causes

We have supported many different smaller scale projects and causes all over the world. We partner with organisations and people that facilitate impactful efforts focused on improving our environment and our community. Along with this, Water-to-Go actively gets involved with and promotes initiatives that help to improve the health and wellbeing of the public. Whilst it is important for us to support projects in underprivileged communities across the world, we feel it is equally as important to encourage and promote initiatives closer to home that collectively help our planet and health.

Ash Dykes donates Water-to-Go bottles to communities in China

A major part of Ash Dykes’ latest expedition was to provide communities with fresh drinking water and education on plastic pollution; how to enjoy but protect the world we live in. As part of #MissionYangtze and thanks to the initiatives of Health & Happiness (Shanghai), official distributors of Water-to-Go, Ash was able to donate Water-to-Go bottles to communities in need of access to clean, safe water at key points on his expedition. (Pictured – Ash donated 380 Water-to-Go bottles to a school in the rural mountain area of Southern Shaanxi Province.)

Water-to-Go supports National Get Outside Day

In partnership with Ordnance Survey, we are promoting the benefits of enjoying the great outdoors as they aim to get over 1 million people from across the nation to get outside. We are also working with Ordnance Survey on bespoke branded bottles that they are selling on their website to help keep everyone healthy and hydrated on their adventures.

Water-to-Go sponsors the Waterbike Collective

Set up by the organisation, Say Yes More, the project was a communal waterbike relay along 1000 miles of England’s rivers and canals, which aimed to collect one million pieces of litter from the countryside along the way. The project made a great impact and had an inspiring message behind it that was covered by local news outlets. Water-to-Go sponsored the project by producing limited edition bottles and t-shirts.
