Since its launch in March 2007, Thirsty Planet has raised enough money to give more than 690,000 people (at 4 Feb 2008) in sub-Saharan Africa access to clean water. It now holds a 65 per cent share of the ethical water sector (Nielsen). Both are remarkable achievements considering we experienced one of the poorest summers for years. With our charity partner Pump Aid we’re on track to help three quarters of a million people by World Water Day, the brand’s first anniversary. |
