Kudos completes water project in Ugandan village

Written by: Admin
Contract and events caterer Kudos has completed a project to provide access to clean drinking water for over 400 people in the village of Kiguli, located in the Mpigi District of Central Uganda.

Kudos provides ethical bottled water brand Life Water to its customers at Brighton Centre and Winchester Cathedral. For every bottle of Life Water sold, partner charity Drop4Drop gives at least 1,000 litres of clean drinking water to a community in need.

Together the companies have built a well eliminating the need for villagers to walk over an hour to collect unsafe drinking water from contaminated sources.

Senior partner of Kudos, Peter Bruun, said: “Kiguli derives a large amount of its economy from agricultural work like the production of food and crops; such as bananas and ground nuts.

“The injection of clean drinking water from this well will provide much needed nourishment for both the crops and residents; helping to boost economic and individual well-being throughout the village and provide new opportunities to the community.

“We will continue to do our part as an ethically driven company and will ensure that many more wells are built in the future”.

Kudos regularly contributes to charities and community initiatives. Their 2015 Helping Hands initiative provided 30 homeless people and families with Christmas hampers containing winter essentials like hats, scarves, gloves, shoes, jumpers, jackets and blankets for every Christmas party sold.
