    Reading text Review 6: GiveMeTap

    A Simple ideas work best. And GiveMeTap’s idea is very simple. Forget bottled water: buy a

    stainless steel bottle, an app on your phone tells you the places near you that will fill it with

    free water, and the money from the bottle funds clean-water projects in Africa.

    B GiveMeTap gives you a great way to promote your brand while supporting a much-needed

    charity. You can buy the GiveMeTap bottles with your company’s logo and name on them,

    making ideal gifts for your customers and your employees too. Your company will reduce its

    plastic waste in your offices and also help to cut down on the amount of plastic that’s thrown

    away. So you’re helping your company, the planet and our charity too.

    C With GiveMeTap, you get a tap-water refill from participating cafes and shops in the UK,

    and communities in Ghana, Namibia and Malawi get clean drinking water. Clean water is one

    of the most effective ways of saving lives. According to UNICEF, illnesses from dirty water

    are a leading cause of death for children under the age of five, with as many as 1,000 children

    dying every day around the world.

    D GiveMeTap’s water pumps and boreholes give access to clean water for more than 6,000

    people. It also gives people time: in some areas, women and children spend an average of

    three hours each day just walking to and from a water source. With water on tap, women

    have more time to earn money for their families and girls have time to attend school. It’s not

    just about the water.


    E Edwin Broni-Mensah is a young man who values solving problems which help change

    people’s lives and environment. While doing a PhD in mathematical finance at the UK

    University of Manchester, he had already helped set up social enterprises. Edwin had

    experience of clean-water problems from talking to his extended family in Ghana.

    GiveMeTap was the third of his business ideas to be successful.
