For Our Community
aQuellé is a community-based organisation that exists to make a difference in people’s lives. Millions of bottles are given every year to schools, sport events, charities and fundraising initiatives, community and cultural events across the country. Throughout the year, aQuellé responds to calls for help and relief.
Spreading real joy
aQuellé spreads joy to everyone – from refreshing commuters, pedestrians and labourers, to revamping community buildings and supplying equipment for schools. Through every bottle shared and every act of kindness, aQuellé continues to make a meaningful difference.
Providing relief
Access to clean water is a daily challenge for many South African communities, especially those affected by damaged municipal supply systems. aQuellé continually provides relief by delivering fresh drinking water to those in need.
aQuellé has donated over 25 water tanks to needy communities across South Africa. Each tank holds 5 000 litres of water and is equipped with a tap, providing a sustainable source of water for community members and school children.
aQuellé cares
Diabetes affects millions of people across South Africa and is the second leading cause of natural deaths. aQuellé has a heart for people suffering from the disease and is creating awareness and educating people about diabetes. aQuellé has travelled across South Africa to provide free glucose testing, encourage people to drink water, eat healthily and maintain active lifestyles.
Cleaning up our communities
aQuellé initiated an anti-litter campaign in September 2021 and has since joined over 100 cleanups since with more than 20 000 volunteers. Community members and government departments, local municipalities, soccer clubs, schools and media all join together to clean up. aQuellé provides volunteers with t-shirts, gloves and refreshment and raises awareness about the harmful effects of pollution and litter, while educating people on simple ways each individual can help to create a cleaner, healthier and happier environment.
Small business development
As part of small business development, aQuellé visited taxi ranks and provided vendors with vending trays, which were received with great appreciation. Spaza shops and smaller outlets were provided with point-of-sale materials, including branded gear and the chance to win R5 000 for their outlet.
Assisting schools
School support forms an integral part of aQuellé’s commitments. This includes financial sponsorship, providing kits for sports teams, hydrating athletes and assisting with infrastructure.
The principal of a school near Maphumulo expressed her thanks: “Your contribution to our school's infrastructure is a testament to aQuellé's commitment to giving back to the community. We are grateful for partners like aQuellé who support our mission to provide quality education.”
