A Simple Idea. Leading to Great Changes

70% of profits from Give Me Tap are used to fund independent water projects in regions where it’s needed most, including Namibia.

The idea is you buy a reusable bottle (£7) made from recycled aluminium from the Give Me Tap website and take it into any cafe or restaurant which has signed up as a "provider" of the scheme.

The bottle is then filled with tap water for free, which helps reduce the plastic wastage in landfill sites and saves you money. 70% of the cost of each bottle is then channeled back into independent water projects helping communities across Africa to install clean water pumps.
