By supporting this charity, Global Infusion has pledged to buy 80,000 500ml bottles in 2006. This in turn will raise £5,000 to buy a village a well, a pumping system and a 'magic roundabout'. The children of the village play on the roundabout, and each revolution pumps a litre of water into storage tanks, so water can be freely available.
The concept was launched to the team at Global Infusion Group at their AGM in January this year by managing director Duncan Goose. The team wholeheartedly bought into the concept without exception.
Currently, one billion people in the world don't have access to clean water and more than two million people die each year from water-related diseases. More than 40 billion hours each year are spent walking to collect water.
Tony Laurenson, managing director, said: "We at the Global Infusion Group want to make a difference and want all our clients to work with us to make this happen by agreeing to have One Water as their preferred bottled water. This water, produced by Radnor Hills, is no more expensive than other brands and by joining us, you will make a difference."
