Water for All: Ash Air and ADRA Empower Communities in Vanuatu 

Since 1979, we at Ash Air have been committed to serving the kiwi industry with high-quality products and uncompromising service, including brands such as Chicago Pneumatic, ALUP, and Pneumatic. But we also care about the local community across Aotearoa.

Beginning of 2023 Ash Air partnered with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency’s (ADRA) initiative to bring clean water to communities Vanuatu. This partnership support the broader Water For All initiatives under the Atlas Copco Group. Many of these communities face significant challenges due to limited access to safe water, impacting health, education, and livelihoods. By delivering clean water, sanitary facilities, and hygiene education, ADRA’s program helps reduce disease and build stronger, more resilient communities.

Friday, July 18th, the Ash Air team organized an event across New Zealand, including Highbrook, Rosedale, Hamilton, Christchurch, and Dunedin, in support of an initiative by coming together to support ADRA. All Employees gathered at their local offices to show their support and participate in fun activities. 

On the day of the event, our teams gathered with great enthusiasm. To embody the spirit of generosity, employees wore blue and donated gold coins to support the cause. At Ash Air, we believe in helping our local communities, and the team shared a common goal of helping the community in Vanuatu as we gathered around the break room for morning tea.

To inspire a spirit of collaboration and friendly competition, we organized a photo contest, with the winners eligible to receive exciting prizes. Our employees had a great time engaging in activities across all our offices. It was truly inspiring to see the Ash Air team come together to support this meaningful cause.

Ash Air’s Water for All event in partnership with ADRA is helping empower communities in Vanuatu by improving access to clean water, enhancing hygiene, and building stronger, more resilient futures. By supporting this important initiative, we’re not just delivering water—we’re delivering life. Access to water means access to life. At Ash Air, we believe that every drop counts, and together with ADRA, we’re proud to be making waves of change. Beyond fostering team spirit, everyone at Ash Air takes great pride in contributing to ADRA’s meaningful work and making a positive impact where it’s needed most.
