This milestone was marked when Peros directors James Roberts and Peter Goodey presented a £1million cheque to Duncan Goose, founder of the One Foundation.
Peros has been distributing bottles of One Water to foodservice clients since 2006. Because 100% of One Water’s profit is donated to fund water projects in Africa, Peros and its customers have been able to provide directly for over 100 pumps, bringing clean, fresh water to nearly 200,000 people in four different countries across sub-Saharan Africa.
More recently, this fundraising has helped support One Water’s £1million contribution to their emergency relief work in East Africa.
James Roberts, joint managing director of Peros, is delighted to have reached the £1million milestone. “We’re really proud of this landmark achievement. It’s not just about the monetary value - it’s about remembering what we’ve actually achieved on the ground in Africa.
"It’s about the positive changes we’ve made to people’s lives by bringing drinking water into their communities. We’d like to thank all our customers who have joined the ‘cause’ and become as passionate as the Peros team in making a difference. We look forward to continuing this work in the coming years.”
Duncan Goose, founder of the One Foundation, is equally proud of Peros’s donation. He added: “It is fantastic working with Peros. We’re constantly amazed by the commitment and energy shown by the Peros team. This donation of £1million reflects their passion. It’s an enormous achievement that has helped us bring real benefits through water projects across Africa.”
