Revolver World is proud to be supporting Village Water, a charity dedicated to bringing clean, sustainable water resources to the hardest-hit communities in Africa.

We donate ten pence per pack (45 pence per kilo) to Village Water to support their work.
We make this donation completely independently of sales - we think this is much fairer.
(If you like our coffee and buy a pack, that's even better!)

Village Water believes that no one should be deprived of clean water in our modern world. Here's how they use the money they receive:

• £30 provides hygiene education, improved sanitation and clean water for one person, for life.
• £240 buys all the cement needed to install a new well.
• £450 pays for a brand new India Mark II water pump.
• £2,500 pays for refurbishing a well, bringing a useless pump back into full use. We carry out a full community sanitation and hygiene mobilisation programme and train village pump operators, so they know how to carry out basic maintenance to give a pump a long and useful life.
• £4,500 can transform an entire community, providing an average of 170 people with hygiene education, improved sanitation and clean water, for life.

Village Water Trustee and Chief Executive David Dixon established Village Water after a visit to Honduras in Central America in 2001. Here he saw the rapid improvement to health and living standards arising from the installation of privately funded local water supplies.

Based on this experience, David went on to assess how much farmers and their families in remote villages in Africa could benefit from such programmes. Having witnessed the desperate need for water and sanitation in rural Zambia, the charity was established; working firstly in collaboration with another UK charity and then as an independently registered charity from 2006. In January 2007 Village Water’s Zambian Field Director Mr Elisha Ngonomo was appointed. He is a highly experienced natural resources manager. Village Water Zambia (VWZ) was successfully registered as a a Zambian Non-Government Organisation (NGO) (ORS/102/35/3491) in May 2007.
