Working with the charity Drop4Drop, the duo provide funding to support the installation of wells and essential infrastructure for communities in developing countries through the sales of Life Water products. The most recent project in Buwere, Uganda, sees a population of 325 people supported.
Andy Jones, managing director of One Retail, said: “Our longstanding partnership with Life Water and Drop4Drop is one we’re all very proud of. It truly demonstrates the power of impactful collaboration and the positive change that can be made when organisations work together. This is a very special and humbling milestone.”
Since the partnership began in 2014, Compass and Foodbuy Group have supported thousands of people to gain access to clean water. Drop4Drop also strives for community empowerment, recruiting local labourers and training the community on maintenance and hygiene education.
Simon Konecki, Life Water and Drop4Drop founder, added: “Each project represents lives changed through access to clean, safe water. As we look ahead, we’re excited to be on the journey toward reaching our 500th project together - an incredible milestone that reflects the scale and strength of this partnership.
“Our heartfelt thanks go to Compass and Foodbuy for their vision, dedication and commitment to driving such meaningful impact. Together, we’re shaping a legacy of positive change that will continue to grow for years to come.”
