| Customers at Esquires Coffee Houses have helped to fund a pioneering Playpump scheme which will bring clean, fresh water to hundreds of children and their families in the Pella Community of South Africa. |
| The unique Playpump has been installed at Masome Primary School, Pella, and uses a schoolyard roundabout to bring water to the surface as the local children play.As a result, the surrounding community now has a clean and reliable water supply on their doorstep, the children are able to spend more time in education and the school can maintain a vegetable garden which provides vital nutrition for the pupils. The project has been funded purely through Esquires Coffee Houses customers, thanks to the chain's ongoing commitment to the One Water charity. This partnership sees 10 pence from every bottle of Esquires water sold contributed to the cause. Explains Peter Kirton, Managing Director of Esquires Coffee Houses UK: "This is a fantastic achievement for our customers and we'd like to thank each and every one of our of them for helping us build what we hope will be the first of many One Water Playpumps. "In little over a year, simply through their choice of water, our customers have funded a simple yet life changing project that will effect hundreds of children. If you add to this our support of Fairtrade, Coffee Kids and numerous UK charities it's clear to see the real difference our customer community is making and we're extremely proud of this. "Members of the Esquires team have been lucky enough to visit the well since it was built and they're completely overwhelmed by the experience and the gratitude of the local people. Most importantly, they were able to see how much the children thoroughly enjoy playing on the roundabout, a sight I wish all of our customers could see first hand." Reneilwe Masoko, aged 12, is a pupil at Masome Primary School. He said: "It is amazing to experience the fun of this wheel. I play on it at break time with my friends." The chain, which currently has 27 stores across the UK, has sold 85000 bottles of water since the partnership began which has in turn created a lifetime supply of water for the Pella community. |
