Water Coolers for the Africa Trust
ZipZag is thrilled to announce our partnership with AquAid Water Coolers to support the African Trust’s charitable campaign!
Together, we’re installing water pumps in African communities to provide clean water where it’s needed most.
Here at ZipZag, we believe in the power of innovation to transform lives beyond thrilling experiences. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with AquAid, a leading water cooler company, to support their charitable campaign with The Africa Trust to provide water pumps in African communities where clean water is scarce.
Water is a basic necessity, yet millions of people in Africa lack access to clean and safe drinking water. Together with AquAid, we’re deeply committed to making a difference through the installation of a water pump courtesy of ZipZag rides. This ensures access to clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, helping to improve health, sanitation, and overall quality of life for residents.


Did you know that in many African communities, access to clean water is a daily struggle? Having the well on site reduces the need for households having to walk an average of 7 miles per day to retrieve water, often from contaminated sources. Finding and retrieving water usually falls to the children or women in a community. This partnership allows us to address this critical issue head-on, providing vital infrastructure where it’s needed most. Our collaboration with AquAid is built on a foundation of shared values and mutual respect. We take pride in the fact that over the past five years our sustained investment in AquAid Water coolers has facilitated the creation of clean water facilities where they are needed most.
Our water pump in Manicaland, a province in the northeast highlands of Zimbabwe, has the capability of producing up to 10,000 litres of potable water per day, to upwards of 300 people within the community, ensuring they have access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation. Stories like these inspire us to continue our support for similar charitable projects in the future, as we remain committed to making a lasting difference in communities around the world.
Elephant Pumps are built by an experienced Africa Trust team leader, with the assistance of the local community, using materials which can be sourced locally. This allows for the community to repair the pump more easily should they need to, which in turn extends the life of the pump exponentially. Of the 8,000+ pumps installed, 95% are still in operation today – a figure 40% above the average for the continent.
We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to AquAid for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing project. Their dedication to providing essential amenities to communities in need aligns perfectly with our values at ZipZag, and we’re honoured to contribute to their philanthropic efforts
