With Impact Water

#TOGETHERBAND supports charities and organisations such as Impact Water by raising awareness around what they do, as well as funding through band sales.

What they do: Impact Water provides water purification systems and installation in schools in Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria, to make sure that children have access to safe, affordable drinking water to avoid contracting waterborne illnesses and disease during their education.

Their aim: Increase access to safe water, with an initial focus on schools and health facilities.
