Registered charity and social enterprise BH Live supporting communities in Africa thanks to a new partnership with water cooler supplier, AquAid.
Working closely with charities Christian Aid and The Africa Trust, AquAid is committed to building water projects in Africa with proceeds donated through business with their contracted customers.
For every bottle of AquAid water sold 40p is donated. £20 is donated per year for every AquAid mains fed water cooler installed. The company has donated over £20 million to African water projects since 1998.
Projects so far have included the installation of wells, pumps, toilets, and irrigation for communities in Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Ten mains fed water coolers will be installed across Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) and Bournemouth Pavilion as part of BH Live’s new service agreement. Thanks to the new partnership, a brand-new water pump or well will be funded and installed in Africa later this year.
Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) and Bournemouth Pavilion are operated by BH Live in partnership with BCP Council.
Steve Turner, BH Live’s Director of Venues shared:
“We are delighted to be working with AquAid; an organisation with an incredible purpose as well as providing a quality product and great customer service.
As a registered charity and a social enterprise we focus on making a positive impact in the communities we serve. By partnering with other like-minded suppliers, we can, in some small way, expand our reach and make a positive difference in communities further afield too.”
