Vending machines help African communities
BY Sarah Todd
Twenty rural communities in Africa now have a constant supply of clean, disease-free water, thanks to a vending scheme from Liverpool City Council.
A year ago, the council signed a contract with Autobar to supply Thirsty Planet bottled water to vending machines in its 15 leisure centres.
From every bottle sold, 5p goes to the charity Pump Aid.
