GiveMeTap is a UK-based social enterprise that champions sustainable hydration while making a transformative impact on water availability in Africa. Founded in 2011, the company produces stainless steel water bottles, with each sale funding 5 years of clean water for an individual in need.
The unique aspect of GiveMeTap is its integration with a network of cafes and shops, offering free tap water, enhancing its appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Its projects in Namibia, Malawi, and Ghana help establish vital water infrastructure, supervised by locally elected committees to ensure sustainability.
The company has established collaborations with reputable names such as Deloitte, HSBC, Google, and TED—a testament to its corporate appeal and social mission alignment. Its last investment was a Seed Round on March 23, 2015, with participation from Y Combinator, Zillionize Angel, and Chris Eyre. This positions GiveMeTap as an impactful player in the Food and Beverage and Water industries, merging entrepreneurial vigor with profound social goodwill.
