We Are The Ripple + Teachers
The WATR parthership with Drink Local Drink Tap is about more than water, it is about opportunity. Each WATR project is focused on a school community, such as Nsawo Primary School. Providing Clean Water gives students the chance to be in the classroom, and learn from amazing teachers. Without the Clean Water projects, students are often sick, or missing from school to travel and find water for their families.
With a WATR Stainless Tumbler or Bottle Teacher Gift purchase, 10% of your sale also goes directly to supporting young students and teachers at Nsawo Primary School gain access to the most basic needs of clean water.

WATR is known for its top-of-the-line stainless steel bottles and tumblers that are vacuum-insulated to keep your drinks hot or cold for hours. They are also incredibly durable—perfect for any daily adventure—and stylish enough to take with you to the gym, school, field or court.

The company has a larger mission that truly stands out: every product you purchase helps fund clean water solutions for villages in East Africa.
In particular, many rural school communities in Uganda face a serious problem: a lack of access to clean water. This issue impacts children the most, making it harder for them to stay healthy, attend school, and thrive. That’s where WATR comes in. We are committed to bringing clean, safe water to these communities, and their goal is to change lives, one village at a time.
Here’s the really inspiring part: when you buy a WATR bottle or tumbler, you’re not just getting a practical, stylish item for yourself. You’re also contributing to a cause that is making a real difference. Through our partnership with Drink Local Drink Tap, WATR’s efforts help provide sustainable water solutions that allow kids to stay in school, families to stay healthy, and entire communities to experience the opportunities we take for granted.
So, whether you’re looking for a gift, a branded item for your business, or just something for your own everyday use, WATR’s products are a perfect fit for your lifestyle. And by supporting us, you’re joining a movement to create positive change around the world.
