Thirsty Planet Bottled Water |

Thirsty Planet is a brand of bottled
water whose sole purpose is to raise money for the provision
of clean water in Africa.
It’s the 21st century and over a billion people in

to choose from dozens of brands of bottled water or good
old tap water.
The donations from sales of Thirsty Planet bottled water
will allow Pump Aid to provide whole communities with
clean water. When you buy a multipack you’re giving
someone clean water for their whole life, while a 500ml
bottle generates a five-year supply for one person. For
