Contribute Water - Water with a difference
Contribute Water is a charity water dedicated to help people get access to clean water and proper sanitation in Africa. For every bottle being purchased, part of the revenue will go to charity; it is as simple as that. When buying Contribute Water, you can actually quench your thirst and do something good at the same time.
Our aim is to build a bridge between business and charity to raise money for less fortunate people. It's a modern way of giving money to charity while carrying out everyday purchases, socializing, or even working out. Totally in line with our time, it’s just about making the right choice!
When we are out and about we can buy bottled water easily. Yet, in the least developed countries this is a rare luxury. Can we help? YES!
Did you know that drinking dirty water kills more children than war, malaria, HIV/AIDS and traffic accidents combined?
Everyone (in our part of the world) buys bottled water, if you choose Contribute Water you are actually helping less fortunate people get access to clean water as well, it's a win-win!
Contribute Water has been in operations for 4 years and so far completed 2 water projects in Malawi, helping hundreds of people. Selling the water in Malta is just the beginning. If we can expand the concept to our closest Mediterranean neighbors (as a start) we can make a huge difference Contribute Water is a well-known brand in Malta and has been featured in all the major TV channels and newspapers. This proofs that the concept works, now it's just about scaling this "easy" solution to help less fortunate people.
Making the Contribute concept bigger can have a huge impact for people with limited access to clean water. And the solution is so easy! Through our charity partner Pump Aid we have already made a difference, but we don't want to stop there. Imagine we can impact the corporate world and the way they do business to be a sustainable model like we believe we have found in Contribute Water, then we can make a huge difference.

From a technical perspective there's not really anything innovative with Contribute Water. We are going back to basics, we share. Not on the profit, but on the revenue which makes us unique in the industry we're operating in.
It's simple but yet so effective. The water in sub-Saharan is right there under the villages, but they just don't have the tools to get to it. By using the technology of the "Elephant pump", the villagers can access clean drinking water in a cost-effective way.
Simply put, we give help where it's most needed. But it's not ending with that, our solutions involve the communities we're helping. The people get full ownership of the water projects and help creating them as well as maintaining them. This secures a long-term solution.

Contribute has funded itself from the founders pockets. As the pilot has proven successful we will try to find investment in order to scale our concept to, both to new markets and into more products.
Financial capital is key, we are where we are today with basically only social media marketing. If we can get more people to know about Contribute Water it would be an obvious choice to buy Contribute Water and make good for others instead of buying another competing water.

It is an honor to make this application, to see that other people in the world actually have the same ambition as us. We want to create a better world, and if we join forces we are one step closer to making that happen. So many social enterprises operate in a vacuum working up-hill without feeling any support, we believe that Solve can solve that.
