aQuellé Delivers Hope and Hydration During National Water Week

Access to clean water remains a formidable challenge for numerous communities across South Africa, where the struggles of ongoing water shortages and crumbling municipal supply systems weigh heavily on daily life. In the face of this crisis, aQuellé stands resolute in bringing hope and sustenance, tirelessly delivering fresh, pure drinking water to those who need it most. With each drop, they not only quench the thirst of communities but also nourish the spirit of resilience, fostering a profound sense of connection and support in times of adversity.

Most recently, aQuellé brought much-needed water to Kwandengezi, near Durban, to ensure families can access safe drinking water. This forms part of the brand’s ongoing efforts, which have also seen communities in Umlazi, Tongaat, Greytown, Msunduzi, Phoenix, and KwaDukuza receive water aid in times of crisis.

Beyond emergency relief, aQuellé initiated a project to provide long-term solutions. The brand donated 25 water tanks to 25 communities in need. Each tank holds 5,000 litres of water, offering a sustainable source of clean water for schools and community members. The first of these tanks was installed at Aldinville Primary School in KwaDukuza, ensuring that learners never miss school due to water shortages.

Michael Ngubane, director of aQuellé, highlighted the urgency of water security: “Access to safe and clean drinking water is a challenge for many communities. In addition, frequent floods in recent years have caused considerable damage to municipal water supply systems, and water has become scarce. That is why aQuellé has come here to help.”

With National Water Week raising awareness about the importance of water conservation and World Water Day (22 March) reinforcing the need to protect water resources, aQuellé’s efforts stand as a beacon of hope.  For those receiving this water, the impact is immediate. As one community member expressed, “aQuellé has helped us very much. We are now able to drink healthy, clean water.”

Water is life; with every bottle delivered and every tank installed, aQuellé continues to make a meaningful difference—one drop at a time.
