Triangle
Tube recently partnered with A Drink for Tomorrow to create a newly drilled
well and hand pump to draw clean water for the village
of Labala, located in Botswana, Africa.
Approximately 100 feet deep, the well will provide a community of around 400
people with clean, safe drinking water —although more people are expected to
migrate here once the water is made available to the village. Progress of the
project, which was made entirely by Triangle Tube’s donation, is available on A
Drink for Tomorrow’s Web site,
www.adrinkfortomorrow.org.

Triangle Tube decided to use its
success in manufacturing hot water systems to fund the construction of the well
in an impoverished community with no access to clean water. Triangle Tube President
Daniel Lasserre,
reflects upon the company’s contribution, “Because we produce water heaters and
boilers, water is vital for Triangle Tube. However, it is even more essential
for all people to survive. Nowhere is this more evident than in remote villages
without clean water like Labala. We know that this will provide a foundation
for their success, as it has for Triangle Tube.”
Grateful for the company’s
participation in the project, A Drink for Tomorrow plans to continue working
with Triangle Tube and other businesses to bring life-giving water and hope to
communities in dire need, said
Stephanie Weaver, A Drink for
Tomorrow’s founder.
Triangle Tube is said
to be the first business to step up to work with A Drink for Tomorrow to fully
fund a water project.
