The One Foundation
The One Foundation is the charitable division of Global Ethics Limited. They are a UK-based registered charity that works with communities in Africa to address the most pressing humanitarian needs, such as clean drinking water, nutrition and HIV/AIDS testing.
They work in partnership with selected NGOs in Africa who are specialists in their respective areas of expertise.
They raise money for The One Foundation via the sale and marketing of a series of One branded products, including One Water, One Vitamin Water and One® Condoms, and through additional fund raising activities.
100% of the money Global Ethics makes from the sale of One branded products is donated to charity via The One Foundation.
The One Foundation is a Registered Charity No: 1118810
The One Foundation are involved in a number of projects, one of which is the PlayPump®.
They fund PlayPump® water systems. A PlayPump® uses a specially crafted children’s roundabout to pump water from deep underground. So, as children spin on the roundabout, fresh, clean water is pumped from a borehole into a storage tank for use by the entire community.
It’s a simple idea but one that is changing the lives of thousands of African people. Now, instead of walking for hours to collect water, children can go to school and the entire community benefits from access to fresh drinking water.
A PlayPump® provides much more than clean water. It provides a community with a sustainable resource that saves time and energy and facilitates education, hygiene and health. Plus, excess water can be used to irrigate vegetable gardens, giving communities the opportunity to grow and sell their own crops.
